You said you loved me.

The moment I was born.

You named me John.

I was your baby boy.

I heard my name.

John.

Everywhere I went.

My friends call me John.

My family call me John.

But my heart.

My heart didn't.

So you all call me John.

Then kick me out when I wanted to be.

When I was.

And always had been.

Jessica.

You loved me.

The moment I was born.

You named me John.

But I was your baby girl.
