I used to believe in diversity
until I was taught conformity
they installed a new identity
they made me follow uniformly
they took away my creativity
and expected me to embrace my individuality
I ask myself about their animosity
and wonder what it means to have equality

equality means
that We are all equal
We are treated equal
given the same and equal chances,
but no one is the same,
but unique in their own way.
There is beauty in diversity,
that's why we must inspire Individuality
,instead of conformity
with having people behave uniformly.
Give them a means to express their creativity
and not be put down because of their diversity.
We need world where equality is reality
and we have our own identity.
Growing up in South Africa, a lot of one's creativity is limited through students having to wear uniform, despite being a country with so many uniquely different cultural backgrounds. This poem was written in order to express my feelings surrounding the beauty of diversity.
