Why am I trying

I am in an Ocean and I am trying not to get wet

I am in a desert and I am trying to avoid the sand

I am in the sun and I want to avoid the sunlight

I am in the midst of tress and I don't want to see the green

Can I achieve what I am trying? No?

If this is not possible, how is it possible to be happy in the midst of sorrow, sorrow so deep that it bleeds your heart, a loss so huge that it numbs you completely? loss of the person who brought you into this very world? Can you ever get over it?
