Who am I? I am the Hawk

I am the warrior, whose martial spirit reigns supreme

I fight back to end a fight, and I stand alone

I am the combatant, the tough

Who are you?


Who am I? I am the Dove

The peacemaker, who cannot exist without violence

Yet I need not resort to violence to win

I am the soother, the tamed


Who are we?

We are eternal.
This is an old poem I wrote for my English class in 7th Grade. It's a dialogue between two opposing symbols, and I was inspired by reading about two brothers who become superheroes. The aggressive one becomes the Hawk while the pacifist becomes the Dove. I hope you enjoy.

If I'm reading this right, I like how you identify that there is a lover and a fighter in all of us. I have never said to be one or the other.
