Who Am I?

[Uncle Tony]

I play both roles.
   I am death and dark,
   I am life and light,

I burn, I build, I blind,
   I clarify, I am doubt,
   I burst with courage,

I call you ugly, I kiss you
   goodnight, I lie to
   myself, I love myself,
   I bury myself, but I
   rise as well.



A ten minute freewrite! Critiques, comments, improvements?

I agree, it seems like a ten minute free write, which isn't a bad thing because it was in fact a ten minute free write.  I liked the opening line, seemed like it was going to take me to a deep place, but didn't go as deep as I had anticipated.  I didn't like the "I call you ugly" line, nor did I care too much for ending with "as well."
