My lover calls me Dove,
For they are beautiful,
For they are innocent.
The picture of peace and purity.
A sign of new beginning,
A sign of overcoming the evil,
Victor, not victim.

However, he is wrong.
I am no Dove.
I have been tainted by the malicious,
Scarred by the violence.
My heart has been bruised by words of hate.
My soul has been broken by the conflicts of thy conscience.
I am no Dove, by all means,
I am Raven.
