Singing From the Heart

You Can Sing!?!

It was a normal day so far nothing out of the ordinary. Izumi and the rest of class 1-A where finishing up the last lesson of the day. When Aizawa finished up his lecture not even a minute later the bell rang signaling the end of the day. Everyone slowly trickled out of the classroom, and walked towards the dorms.

Once Izumi got situated she got out her textbooks and homework. She and a few others( Tokoyami, Ojiro, Jiro, Uraraka, Tsu, and Hagakura)were in the common room studying, but Izumi didn't seem to notice with the earbuds playing music in her ears distracting her. She was so distracted that when the next song (and one of her favorites) started she began singing. The others around her were watching and listening in shock.

Here comes a wave meant to wash me away
A tide that is taking me under
Swallowing sand, left with nothing to say
My voice drowned out in the thunder

Uraraka and Tsu slowly pulled out their phone, and recording everything.

But I won't cry
And I won't start to crumble
Whenever they try
To shut me or cut me down

I won't be silenced
You can't keep me quiet
Won't tremble when you try it
All I know is I won't go speechless
'Cause I'll breathe
When they try to suffocate me
Don't you underestimate me
'Cause I know that I won't go speechless

At this point they were smiling and bobbing their heads, as Tokoyami messaged the group chat to come to the common room.

Written in stone, every rule, every word
Centuries old and unbending
Stay in your place, better seen and not heard
Well, now that story is ending

'Cause I, I cannot start to crumble
So come on and try
Try to shut me and cut me down

One by One they all made their way downstairs.

I won't be silenced
You can't keep me quiet
Won't tremble when you try it
All I know is I won't go speechless
Speechless
Let the storm in
I cannot be broken
No, I won't live unspoken
'Cause I know that I won't go speechless

By now there was a crowd behind Izuka, but she of course didn't notice.

Try to lock me in this cage
I won't just lay me down and die
I will take these broken wings
And watch me burn across the sky
Hear the echoes saying

I won't be silenced
Though you wanna see me tremble when you try it
All I know is I won't go speechless
Speechless
'Cause I'll breathe
When they try to suffocate me
Don't you underestimate me
'Cause I know that I won't go speechless
All I know is I won't go speechless
Speechless

Everyone was shocked but stayed quite so they could hear more. Even Bakugou was nodding along!

I don't look like her
She's in all the magazines
So much prettier than me
You don't know it hurts
Staring at my iPhone screen
Watching others live their dream

More than half of the class was recording the phenomenon that was Izumi's voice.

But mama, she said to me
(Mama she said)
One day my love.. you'll see

Pretty's on the inside
See it in your own eyes
Look a little closer in the mirror tonight
Pretty's on the inside
But I can't tell my own mind
Maybe if I look a little harder, I'll find
That pretty's on the inside
Pretty's on the inside
Pretty's on the inside

I don't like myself
But maybe it's all in my head
And I am not the words I've said
These images they sell
Maybe none of it is real
And I could love the way I feel

Cuz mama, she said to me..
(Mama she said)
One day I swear you'll see
