Unsafe

(CW: Violence) Flash of knife and slap of meat, cry of pain or curdled scream, walk up on her from behind. Unawares, slash her heart lines. 'gainst the the blue car let her bleed. Let her writhe, and let her scream. Him, rejected, by who, her? And complained to manager? Lost his job and lost his pay, had nothing to lose they say. Didn't see her as a queen, nor even a peasant, seems. Let her see the hate-filled eyes eyes of one she'd realize simply wanted her to "share", eyes that stalked with every stare. Let her writhe and let her fall, Add her name to the deads' wall. One of twelve? Hell, kill them all.

Zeta

My name... is Zeta. I'm not the same as most. I've always been a little bit... /different/. I've always been a little bit... /strange/. Nobody knows what to make of me, least of all myself, and nobody knows how I die. [a pause] Many have tried to slash my throat, to bleed me dry as bone. Many have pierced, ripped out their spears as I but scream and moan. Many have come to hear my cries, to take their bloody turn. Many have come to try to end this dragon who will not burn. My scars, beyond those mortal men ever had right to cast, have yet not hardened my dark heart. My light in it holds fast. I know they come because they fear, they fe

Bloodstains by ZetaSyanthis, literature

Literature

Bloodstains

The rage within that I now feel compels me now to write, to share a vision, bloody red, of your last desperate night. The rage within that rises strong that rips throughout my heart, it sings the song of pain and weight and rips my mind apart. The anger, despair, knife's edge deep lodged deep within my heart compels me now to put pen to this most accursed art. For I now write to share my pain to spread my hate and rage to shatter walls and countries vast with bloody, ruined page. And so I say, to you who chose to you who chose this path to you who hatred chose and mocked you will now feel my wrath. And when these words are done at last y

Yours by ZetaSyanthis, literature

Literature

Yours

[Content warning: Angry, vicious imagery.] Pitter patter, drip and drop Can you see them? Can you not? See them spatter, see them fall see them sprayed upon the wall. See those that your knives have cut. See their hearts and ripped out guts. See them fall beneath your sword, all of them, across the world. Tiny rivers, crimson red, flowing from the endless dead, join together, break your wall, drown you, drown them, drown us all. See the field to which they fly. See them stagger, shatter, die. See their parents mourn with grief, for their children, killed like sheep. See them stagger; see them cough. See one, then another, drop. See your

Yes, It Really Matters by ZetaSyanthis, literature

Literature

Yes, It Really Matters

Yes it really matters. Yes, it hurts inside. Yes, to all the fees and care to heal my broken mind. Yes, to doctor's visits. Yes, to DMV. Yes, to lines unending, so at last I can be. Yes, I say, or tell myself, the one who hurts inside, the tortured, wounded little girl who's barely still alive. Yes, to tears unending. to terror, shaking, cold. Yes, I'm terrified of this, but my heartstrings must hold. I don't know how, but I must try to live with what I have to give myself a chance at life as I now truly am. Mere weeks ago, a mem'ry came, myself, at four years old. My heart was broken even then, I could not fit the mold. I did not know

Defeat Is Not Surrender by ZetaSyanthis, literature

Literature

Defeat Is Not Surrender

Defeat is not surrender, nor is darkness light. Though pain may overwhelm us it cannot stop our bright. Defeat is not surrender, nor is the battle lost. Defeat is not surrender, though we have paid great cost. For in our hearts a forest grows, its branches strong and green, and our forests will grow again though all we hear is keen. It seems to drown out all we know. It seems to black out light. But if you listen carefully, your heart will guide you right. Much pain endured, many hearts lost we've hurt and we've despaired, but we are stronger than you know. We wear the heroes' pale. Music, as strong as candlelight that lights until the

I Don't Know How by ZetaSyanthis, literature

Literature

I Don't Know How

I don't know how to shine with joy. I don't know how to weep. I don't know how to holiday. All joy at last seems cheap. I don't know how to dance and laugh. I don't know how to cry. I don't know how to bear this pain, and I fear that I'll die. I don't know what family should mean I don't know what joy lies in arms of those that should love me and in those bonds that tie. My heart, you see, is broken now as broken as it has been and I do not know how to heal the wounds that just won't mend. I don't know how to fill the hole or how to find the warmth that in my distant mem'ry calls when I still had self worth. In those days I knew safety.

Fall by ZetaSyanthis, literature

Literature

Fall

Fall of city, fall of heart, fall of those we trusted, fall of hope and candlelight, and blasted hellscapes, rusted fall of light, and fall of life and fall of dust and heartbeats, the world watches and pretends they cannot see us deletes. For that is what we would become would not with dear time's passing the world know we fought and bled, and at the last, and died gasping. We sought to stand as you have claimed neighbor helping neighbor but some amongst us with their hate pushed you away, our savior. And still we stand, now at the last, white helmets far from gleaming hoping against hope these poor souls may one day 'member, dreaming t

Literature

Shield Of The West

Magics, magics, come to me. Come and stop this dark. You are needed now, now *here* to shield and heal the heart. Come and shimmer 'long bows of glass, through deep stone entomb-ed vaults, come shimmer strong and shine with light, and this darkness now halt. You see my wounds, you see my blood, you see my heart ripped open, and yet you see not where it seems hope's light is still now woven. A knife may in my deep-heart be, but if you think that mortal, you know not what dragon you face, "I will heal," I chortle. Now, you who stood and you who saw and you who still saw nothing you who did not care (did not know!), can you still tell me "no

Shimmerspark

We enter times of darkness now, the wounded and the shaken, the times that would us now destroy, if we should not awaken. But still I hear dear freedom's call. I hear its march and chime and if you now just listen close you'll see it still yet shines. Now as one, we will stand tall, against these men of pain, against all those who hurt our joy, who bring tears like the rain. If I must lead, let it be now. Let me stand strong and tall, Let us together break these chains Let not the darkness fall. For we have beauty, dreams, and light, and they have none they fight for. They've only pain, a pain that binds a pain that we seek to cure. I sa

My Bio

Hiya! It's Zeta, and I've staked out this little spot on the interwebs as a home of sorts. I'm not quite sure what I'm doing, or what I plan to do with it, but I guess we'll all get to find out together!

Although I hid it for a long long time, I now relish in my strangeness and that of those around me. I'm not normal, and increasingly convinced that no one else is either... Some are too uptight to admit it, but that's not something I can help them with, and it's not something that I'm going to restrict myself based on any longer.

I make friends based on who you are, not what you are, what you look like, or what you like. I only ask the same courtesy in response. I'm willing to chat about pretty much anything, no matter how awkward or personal it may be. I've learned that secrets are just another thing to fear, and I think I've finally stopped fearing mine. I love to help people understand themselves, and every time I get the opportunity, it helps me to understand myself too.

Most of my content ends up posted here, but sometimes I forget! My main feeds are over at:
