A Rose By Any Other

Just call me Rhea, that will be fine.
Another calling won't suffice.
There needn't be another way
To get my attention isn't your job
Call me as I ask.

Just call me Rhea, even if you don't want to.
Like children born to unfit parents
Your past is your own problem.
Like history - what's done is done.
Please don't try to change it.
Listen to me when I ask.

Just call me Rhea, because I tell you.
The story is not that of mythology.
I am not the mother of the gods
I am my own god and I have this request
Would you respect your sister?
Would you respect your mother?
Respect me.  I shouldn't have to ask.
