I am the epitome of duality.
For I can be everything that you need
And can be nothing that you'd want.
I am the maelstrom forcing you to me.
And the gentle waves playing at your ankles.
I challenge your logical arguments
Then acquiesce to your ludicrous demands.
I am the lion removing your head savagely.
And the domesticated kitten snuggling to you.
I am the strongest you will ever engage.
But my weaknesses will be your downfall.
And you either hate me
For that which I stand for
Or you love me
For that which I am.
Your opinion may change.
But it can never be both.
Because I am the epitome of duality.
Author notes
Just some random writing. The inspiration came from a piece I wrote for my Creative Writing class this past semester. Obviously, some parts are contradicting.

Love It
The words paint such a vivid picture. I love creative writing and am trying to turn some into short stories. I love what I have read of your work so far. Hope to see a lot more

Very creative. I like here that you don't put direct opposites. You put contradictions, but not opposites. I like that, because almost everybody when they try to write about stuff like this puts opposites and after a while it becomes rather predictable.
I think the first stanza could be broken into two. It's kind of long and overwhelming. And you could probably change the color of the text, because it paints it a lot darker than this is. It's rather contradicting in itself. And you want to keep the focus on the poem as the contradictions.
In general, this is very interesting to read and rather different from a lot of other poems I've read. Very well done.
