Solved

I taunt the heavens, stand my ground, highly hold my head
Deafening is the rebuke, though not a word is said
I bear the blows, my destiny (I wouldn't call it luck!),
and expose some so-called wisdom for a myth each time I'm struck.

This is a really cool guess, but I don't think that it can quite work as an alternate answer. spoiler

Good guess, but not what I am thinking of, and I don't think that it entirely works. spoiler

It's pretty close, but this isn't the answer I'm looking for. I'm not sure it fits every line, and there's an answer which satisfies the clues and the specific wordings quite well.
