Why Do You Provoke?

Tiny chances of slender hopes, that broke.
On your lies i can only pray, you choke.
Not ever was a single word, misspoke.
Scattered tattered moral beliefs, a joke.

But buoyant dreams that fill my head, are stoked.

Love the verbs. Actually I love how the whole thing sounds. Scattered, tattered...definitely. Thanks for sharing! :) -Grace
