Call me by my name

My name is not just a word.
It is many words combined into one
My name describes me,
my personality,
my problems,

My name is me and I am my name.
Two halves,
Together we make one.
Do not call me by something that is not me.
Do not call me nerd, little miss perfect, or teacher's pet. 
​Do not call me crybaby, annoying, or boring. 
Call me by my name.
I know my name but do you know it?
Call me by my name.

    Can I get any more hurt?

    casting faded orange and yellow rays.
    Wispy clouds drift overhead,
    pushed by the wind. 
    A single cricket's chirp fills the air with a quiet song,
