I don't see the problem with gotten, would you prefer something along the lines of obtained or acquired? I'm sorry I don't constantly try and find the most intelligent sounding word in order to try and impress users such as you. Can you ever forgive me? ya douche

Don't you feel a problem at all with the sentence? Gotten? Vocabulary is gotten? I was looking more appropriately for found.

As a matter of fact, things can be gotten. It is a perfectly acceptable word

um yea, i didnt know wat a couple of those words meant lol. the risk of high language is that some or many readers wont know wat you mean.
but if this is ur style then go with it ofc. if ur a beginner, u shud try practicing letting ur emotions flow out of u onto paper more than cramming intellect.
if u want intellect, this poem wants irony. until u achieve it, its not very poetic.
if u practice writing every day, u'll be brilliant by the time ur 20 or so
