'There was a boy

He used to be kind

But the weight of tragedy had made him blind

His mother was dead

Shot in the head

And his father left him behind

He cried
It's not real no.. she couldn't have died

He grew empty and was a shell

Simply surviving
in his own version of hell..'

For some reason that poem wouldn't leave my mind..
The poem I wrote the day I planned to end my life
The poem I wrote the day I was reborn
The poem I wrote the day I met sensei

I wrote that poem the day I became a villain
10 years ago today..

"MAMA NO!"
Just before the boy leaped into action the man in a mask pulled the trigger

The boy was only 4 years old

He ran over to catch his mother's lifeless body before it fell to the floor

She was still alive barley breathing

She managed to croak out a goodbye knowing it had a small chance of being her last

'She was still alive' the boy told himself as he watched her short sharp breaths

But alas, Lady Luck had abandoned him and he watched as she screamed out before her body turned to dust

"Mama?! MAMA!"

His quirk manifested..
He had killed her

-three days later-

"ITS YOUR FAULT SHE DIED! YOU MURDERING BASTARD"

His father had beat the boy every day ever since that night

the poor boy.. He couldn't stop him even if he wanted to

He wasn't aloud to touch anything or anyone

Just as his father was about to kick him again-
out of reflex he grabbed his foot and watched in horror as his father screamed, body decaying to dust

"P-papa?"

He had killed his father

-seven years later-

He wasn't loved
He was forced to wear gloves at All times so he couldn't hurt the other children in the orphanage

Everyone was afraid of him

He didn't even want to wake up some mornings

'What a tragedy' the boy thought

Only eleven years old and he wanted to die

The orphanage cafeteria lady was the only one who showed him kindness
Giving him extra meals because the other children would take his

He left her an apology note before he left

She was the only one who would miss him anyways

He stood on the ledge of the rooftop looking down upon the dark city

Just as he was about to take off his shoes and jump he heard a voice

"Wait!"

He turned around and saw a man who looked as if he had no face

A black mask with some sort of breathing tube was attached to it

The man seemed to notice his hatred toured the world

He smiled

"Young man.. How would you like revenge?"

•*•*•*•

Tomura shot out of bed in a cold sweat from the painful memories
Calming his breathing he looked at the time realizing he was late to a meeting

'Ah.. shit'
