1 Men Really Are Not Born Equal

Men are not created equal at birth. This is the fact I realized when I was four.

"Don't think yourself as a hero. You good-for-nothing Deku."

"Not gonna happen kid. Give it up."

"I'm sorry Izuku!"

"What are you capable of, anyway."

"Sorry kid, I don't think it's possible to be a hero without a Quirk"

"Dreams are nice as long as they stay in your sleep." 

...

Izuku kicked an empty can of soda as he walked without direction, waking up from his thoughts. He stared absent minded at the can before continuing to walk. He was still shocked that after all these years he was still living a farce even though everyone told him it wouldn't be possible. Guess he can only blame himself for being delusional and ignorant.

Maybe there still a chance, he thought, knowing there wasn't. He knew that the most he would be able to accomplish is being a police officer, where he would only be in charge of delivering the villain to the prison. A delivery boy. He sighs as he walks, even the number 1 hero told him it was impossible, just a dream.

Drip drip

He touched his face to find it was wet. Weird, is it raining?

He looks up into the rosy sky to find it was only cloudy. He sighs and rubs the tears out of his face with his sleeve. Pathetic.

He cried knowing he wouldn't accomplish his dream of being a hero.

Maybe Kacchan wasn't exactly being mean but telling me all along to stop so I didn't get hurt in the long run but... I didn't listen.

He bites his inner lip as he realized his childhood bully always told home the truth instead of giving him fake hope unlike his "friends".

What's the point on living anymore, he stares at a remote building in the distance next to the ocean, hearing the waves crash and the salty feeling in the skin. He walks up ahead and enters the building l, apparently being an abandoned six story warehouse.

Climbing the stairs to the roof, he exits the building into the rooftop and sits in the border curb, letting his feet dangling in the air. He stares blankly into the horizon and mutters,

"Men really are not born equal."

He leans forward and drops, falling into the ocean.
