Heroine: the female form of hero.
Heroin: a poisonous, narcotic killer.
How can something so inspirational
And such a devastating death agent
Sound so similar?
Imagine this:
A young girl,
Mind ready for molding,
Looking up to the women in her life.
Her father left them.
Her mother broke down.
Her older sister is using now,
Oblivious to the outside world.
The younger daughter sees her sister as a
Role model.
That bond is now shattered.
Her heroine has turned to heroin to save herself.
But who will save her younger sister?
