Proven enough?

Tell me the next step, please
and if your being agrees with this
throw me in the abyss
because I did not kiss your feet
or take a bow to greet
your sore and incomplete image.
This is how we damage
carefully built courage into
heads, eyes, watching askew
back to coy avenue. I plead,
who else should hurt or bleed?
To prove that I accede, or choke.
