Having a huge vocab was not necessary here. You got your point across just fine. Who cares how many syllables was in it..
Anyways, I thought you had a good question in this. I got to thinking about it and I don't know what makes me me, either

Parts of it looked like a whine to me. Didn't really like that part but that's just...me. One of those thought provoking ones. Not bad at all.
