Mistrusted - Day 27 of Poem-a-Day

My Day 27 poem was written from the prompts contributed by Paula Wanken:

1. Write a hero poem. 
2. Write a villian poem.

Mine are combined into one poem.

She was a hero, locked
into collecting
donations for victims
of a recent disaster, until
something clicked
inside her head, turning on
unforeseen madness, forcing
a changing of the padlocks,
leaving her chosen
savior-troops as victims
of a psychological disaster, one
they could not heal from
through the act of winter
coat donations.
