You ask me how I know so many big words,
I reply with one word,
Books,
You nod your head,
Receiving the answer you expected,
Though the answer you should receive is:
I have feelings so terrible that they will bring you to your knees,
I have thoughts so tragic you will never know hope again,
I have emotions so dreadfully confusing you will surface not know what is right or wrong up or down or left to right,
But I neglect to inform you that the profound words anyone in my position should possess have escaped me,
I am not filled with words like iridescent or perspicuous,
I am only filled with thoughts and feeling and emotions that those breathtaking words describe,
My words are not profound they never will be and they have never been. But my thoughts and feelings and emotions are,
So the next time you ask me why my vocabulary is so astounding I will reply by saying because my words don't describe me,
I describe my words.

I don't know, I guess I'm just in the writing mood.
