Happy Wednesday! 
We're already at the halfway point for riddles this month! Time flies when you're being accosted with puzzles from the unseen, you know?
With that, here's the latest message ...

I seldom listen to what I'm told.
Beaten more with every breath
The ambush of a certain death.
A break for me may be cruel
But following might make you the fool.
What am I?
