His feet drug against the ground each time he took a step. He had been walking forever already it seemed but he had been only walking for three days. The only time he stopped was to sleep, eat or relieve himself. He had to reach his destination in the shortest time possible because his parents would be out after him. His destination was Tokyo. It would be a new beginning for him.

just a reflection
just a glimpse

Coldness filled his shoe once again. He had stepped into another new puddle that had spawned from the rain the night before. He looked down and seen himself in the reflection.

just a reminder
of all the what abouts
and all the might have
could have beens
another day
some other way
but not another reason to continue

Nagi. Naoi Nagi. A small kid with brown hair and blue eyes was Nagi. Nagi was a smart kid and could figure out anything. He could have been anything he wanted but one thing stood in his way. His family.
He was the youngest of his family. He had two older brothers and an older sister. His father worked at a low wage factory and his mother stayed at home to take care of the children.
Nagi's father had a temper on him. He would constantly beat the children for any little thing that they did wrong. His mother would stay out of the fight so she wouldn't get beat herself. If it was only that Nagi still might have stayed at his house.
Nagi was born different. He had something most people didn't have. He was had the power to make things float. This scared his family and made him an outcast. Everybody thought he was weird because of it. His father would beat him for anything because he was afraid of his kid and thought that he was different. His brothers and sister would never admit to being his brother and they too would make fun of him.
The kids at school always did. It was their own sort of fun. They loved seeing strange one hurt. At first, they only looked at the way he looked since he was scrawnier than them and wore different clothing then them, but they found out the truth once when they made him mad and he ended up sending a desk flying acrossed the room.
These are all reasons he ran away from his house, but the main reason was that he heard there was a group of people just like him.

and now you're one of us
the wretched

That is why he traveled all the way to Tokyo. To join them. To be with them.

the hopes and prays
the better days
the far aways
forget it

it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to
it didn't turn out the way you wanted it, did it?
it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to
it didn't turn out the way you wanted it, did it?

Nagi looked up at the night sky after remembering all the events of the past part of his life, the old part. He remember how he used to pray and wish to the stars above that his life would change but nothing ever happened. That is when he really started to hate people. They once told him that if you made a wish upon a star that it would come true, and they also told him that if he prayed to God all of his prayers would be answered. None of it had turned out right.
All of what they said was shit. Everybody lied to him.

now you know
this is what it feels like
now you know
this is what it feels like

The world needed to be cleansed of these kinds of people. They needed to feel the kind of pain he felt everyday at their hands. They really needed to pay. Nagi made up his mind that he would show them the pain that they showed him someday.

the clouds will part and the sky cracks open
and god himself will reach his fucking arm
through
JUST TO PUSH YOU DOWN
JUST TO HOLD YOU DOWN
stuck in this hole with the shit and the piss
and it's hard to believe it could come down to this
back at the beginning
sinking
spinning
and in the
we still pretend
the time we spend
not knowing when
you're finally free
and you could be

Nagi started to walk down the street again. This was the last day that he was going to walk. The sign in front of him pointed forward with the words

TOKYO
15 MILES

'Thank God,' Nagi thought to himself. Nagi let out a sigh. He thought about what he thought and was disgusted with himself. There was no God. If there was a 'God' then all he did was torture his people.
He thought back to all the hours that he spent in a church praying to something that wasn't real or something that hated him anywise. That was one thing his family cared about. Church. Everybody went to Church in his family. Nagi spent countless hours praying. For what? To be hated by everyone because of he telekinesis that 'God' has given him.

but it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to
it didn't turn out quite the way you wanted it

The first rays of light came over the horizon. Nagi looked down at the sight the new day brought him. Tokyo. This was going to be his new life. Even though his new life isn't the way he wanted it to be.

now you know
this is what it feels like
