I am Both I am held together, I melt away. I am the voice that speaks for pay I am at a loss for what to say. I am the day, I am the night I am the peace; I am the fight. I am the love, I am the hate I am on time, I come in late. I am the good, I am the bad I am the real, I am the fad. I am with you, I am alone I am the sewer, I am cologne. I am the rich, I am the poor I am the nun; I am the ***** I am the door, I am the wall I am the big, I am the small. I am the doubt, I am belief I am the long, I am the brief. I am the servant, I am the king I am the mute, I too can sing. I am the mansion, I am the shack I am the plenty; I am the lack. I am the truth, I am the lies I am the laugh; I am the cry. I am the bitter, I am the sweet I am the win, I am defeat. I am the up, I am the down I am the smile; I am the frown. I am the calm, I am the strife I am the death; I am the life. I am the two of all we see, Both good and bad we come to be. When the finite's in eternity, Both good and bad reside in me. Because I am the fire, I am the snow I am holding on; I am letting go. I am satisfied, I am discontent I am the sender; I am the sent. I am the foe, I am the friend I am the start I am the END.

I am Both
I am Both I am held together, I melt away. I am the voice that speaks for pay I am at a loss for what to say. I am the day, I am the night I am the peace; I am the fight. I am the love, I am the hate I am on time, I come in late. I am the good, I am the bad I am the real, I am the fad. I am with you, I am alone I am the sewer, I am cologne. I am the rich, I am the poor I am the nun; I am the ***** I am the door, I am the wall I am the big, I am the small. I am the doubt, I am belief I am the long, I am the brief. I am the servant, I am the king I am the mute, I too can sing. I am the mansion, I am the shack I am the plenty; I am the lack. I am the truth, I am the lies I am the laugh; I am the cry. I am the bitter, I am the sweet I am the win, I am defeat. I am the up, I am the down I am the smile; I am the frown. I am the calm, I am the strife I am the death; I am the life. I am the two of all we see, Both good and bad we come to be. When the finite's in eternity, Both good and bad reside in me. Because I am the fire, I am the snow I am holding on; I am letting go. I am satisfied, I am discontent I am the sender; I am the sent. I am the foe, I am the friend I am the start I am the END.
This was from a classic, "I am poem", prompt. I was reading the entry of each of my contemporaries, and all were writing on either end of the spectrum. All good, or all bad. I thought you know depending on the circumstances I am capable of both, therefore "I am both".
