"I wear him like a cloak, sweat under the weight"

The above sentence is a simile.

A simile is a direct comparison between two things. It compares two things by using ‘as’ or ‘like.’ A simile is the figure of speech which directly compares two things which have some features common in them. In the above sentence, the closeness of two is being compared as wearing a clock. Also, the comparison is made with the help of 'like' in the sentence.
