Let me be me

Why cant the breeze swirl ?
Why dont the springs flood ?
Why lillies ought not smell like roses ?
I asked
You smiled and replied
"Things need to stay special ;
That's the law of nature"
Yes. I thought
A day needs to be a day
A night needs to be a night
Calories burnt as thoughts sprouted its wings
I sensed desert sun
Starved, cried and dried
Buried myself in dunes
Something arose from me
Thorny, green, fleshy and juicy
It cant be as simple as grass
If so it will die..
