From the 13th Hotel floor
I feel the wind blow
I pull my hoodie close
Like my modern day armor
To hide the scars
On soul not my
Arms or
My legs
The legs I used to carry
Me up those thirteen flights
Of stairs
Only to stare
Out the window of this forbidden,
Foreboding floor
But even now as i tell
My story, the wind chill doesn't bother
Me anymore
I walk around this lonely
Floor
Spiting, throwing, Slamming my selfish rhymes
And clenched hands against these locked doors
Just to be ignored
So I put on the hoodie just same way
as I do everyday
I'm on the Thirteenth floor
Because I've lost touch with the world 
and the other Floors
