lament

Description

Lament is a theater where one stages their despair and sells tickets of sympathy to spectators. The louder the cry, the more powerless it reveals, never realizing true solace lies in silence. It catalogs sorrows while seeking the grounds of existence, imprisoning itself in an endless loop. Its outcry resonates like a siren that pushes salvation further away. Lament is the madness that lurks in the intermission of tragedy.
