“My name is a gift” by Alli Rosenfeld.

My name is a gift.

It was given to me,

By my parents

For my birthday.

My name is a gift.

Wrapped up so nice,

A box with a bow

And no receipt.

My name is a gift.

I gave it to you,

So you can call

Me to your side.

My name is a gift.

It was for you,

But you gave it back

When you finished.

My name is a gift.

A present for me to keep,

Something to use

And hold forever.

My name was a gift.

I wish it wasn’t so.

I wish I could give it back.
