do it
It's not so important who I am anymore, so much as what I do. All eyes are focussed and watching; muscles straining under too much weight, knees buckling, the assume I'll fall.
But I can't. No. To give them that satisfaction would be like saying "c'mon, kick me again, harder, till I bleed from the mouth a little" and the the next time I fell, we'd all have been expecting it.
From here, high up on this shiny pedestal, I'm... inviolable. Try and touch me.
But my feet are slipping. The edge draws nearer and I can feel the wind trying to lift me up and up - testing the waters - dash my brains at the bottom of the cliff.
So I DO, ad they watch. Who I was is gone now. I am my actions.
