Big Words No Sound

Why do you hide behind your big words
that only you halfway understand.
You think just because you use these words 
it's going to make me feel inferior 
think again.

And If you don't like me,
tell me straight to my face 
and stop hiding in the shadows
of your big words where it's safe.

 Just so you know,
I will take your so called big words 
and put them in your face like a mirror,
so you can see how small you're 
compared to those big words you try using .

Then I will take your bitterness as my ink 
and before my words touch paper,
they'll already be jumping off the page
shouting for joy.

You see for me,
I don't need to hide behind fancy words 
to show who I am 
and how tuff I am,
because my identity and strength is in God.

Very good and very clever -- your use of the words "I am" is another name for God. It's a great play on words and reinforces the greatness of our God. Nicely done my friend.
