"The world is always seen in black and white and never shades of gray but my favorite color has always been blue and green"

two of my favourite things: slam poems and bisexuality. YES.

This makes me so proud of being bisexual

and I just realized your wall is a color that combines blue and green, too

I teared up when she mentioned Pansexuality, because I came into this thinking "my sexuality is not going to be mentioned" omg

Fun drinking game: take a shot every time someone comments on this video: "did anyone else realize her walls are turquoise which is a mixture of blue and green XD"

scrolling down to see such nasty comments for this genius poem?? what's wrong with people??

My sexuality is as messy as my room.

Thank you. I'm going to show my parents this to come out as bisexual.

YOURE SO CUTE I CANT HANDLE YOU

I really love how you compared bisexuality to all these things. Especially when asked your favorite color. As a pansexual I'm always asked "Well, which one do you like more?" and when I tell them I like both equally it never seems to be the right answer. It's like I had to choose one and I just couldn't. I love all genders so equally that I just don't understand how I could pick just one. I don't like just yellow or just red. I love all the colors.

I wish you would've put this poem in the description or something, I'd love to recite this (giving you credit of course)

This is referred to as a spoken word poem, a slam poem is for contests. This is way to good to be your first, I love how it leads up to the problems we have in society regarding sexuality. I'm also attracted to both genders, relatable! Last school year, near the end, I started realizing the fact that I wasn't straight or gay. I knew about sexualities, so I decided to consider myself bisexual until further research. So many people didn't even know what it meant, this asshole dude I thought was my friend needed clarification that it wasn't the same as transsexual and kept claiming I would never have sex with a guy and have a kid of my own someday. He kept saying homophobic things, and when I'd tell him, he'd deny it and say even more homophobic things. I don't even think he knew it. I decided not to bring it up anymore. He isn't in my school this year. Earlier today in my last class, a boy who heard I was bisexual last year decided to ask whether it was true. I claimed it was a joke. My family is Christian and low-key homophobic, so I let them think I'm one of them, heterosexual. Your poem is very passionate and too true about modern society. Apparently everyone's straight until told otherwise. Sexuality is way more complicated than people realize, and we need to be educated on these types of things.

your voice sounds like Miley Cyrus. I loved this poem by the way, even if I'm not bi. The part about the way society wants us to only choose one thing- one major, on job, one dream, really stuck with me.

You couldn't see it, but you just got yourself a standing ovation. The brilliance of this video is that it proves that you shouldn't have been forced to choose between writing and acting, as this was beautifully written and passionately performed. You are both an excellent writer and an excellent performer.

I'm pan, so yeah, I relate hardcore to this. Good job!

This is... Really great for your first time oh my gods.

Wow, that was a good poem. I am also proud of you for finishing in one take. If you wrote this for my class I would definitely give you an A. You have talent.

This video helped me admit that I'm bisexual to myself! Thank you for this most amazing poem!

hey, were both named Alyssa and were both bisexual!!

Omg I love this so much, you have so much talent! I can relate 100% to this, I've been told a lots of times that I can only be straight/gay/like only boys/girls and after so much negativity, is good to hear a positive word about this. You look like a very lovely person and thanks for writing this, maybe I can finally come out to my parents with this video. Hope you keep writing and that you're having a nice day! Ps: Can I add you on snapchat?

This is absolutely beautiful and actually brought me to tears.

As a bi girl whose favorite colors happen to be blue & green, I love this!

This poem really hit home. I've known i've been Biromantic for nearly a year. It was for an actress that I would never meet and I didn't worry. I didn't worry until I developed strong romantic feelings for my best friend. She's dated a girl before, and even though she says only boys from now I know she's bi in one way or another. It really sucks. I can't lose her. She's my only friend. Gets me better than anyone and I'm a hard person to get, but we're basically the same person.

This speaks to me so much!!! The way you read was magnificent, you had put so much feeling into it. When people are asked there sexuality, I think when Bi's (and pans) answer they get both sarcastic and psychotic replies like "Oh ..you haven't decided yet.". But as Blue and Green are your very colors if you were to just pick one you would feel as if you cutting off a piece of you, a piece of your soulful identity. The same goes with picking one gender to love. Love is Love and if you say that, than my god mean it!!! Amazing Poem!!!

so you want to be an actor and a writer? So you want to be the next Lin Manuel Miranda?

You put it into words I never could, so thank you so much for that. I recently came out to my mum as bisexual, but she really doesn't understand how I can be attracted to two genders, 'it's probably just a phase, you're only 16.' I'll most likely apply what I listened to here to our next conversation, or just send her this video. Thank you so very much.

Omg, you're really friggin adorable.

I loved this and I'm so glad that you included pansexual. My favorite color is all the shades of blue, I can't decide which and I think that says something.

I cried watching this. I am 13 years old it at school the teachers read books on a topic and expect us to write. Mostly these books are fairytales. My teacher read the story Cinderella,and had us write an essay on if it was modernize what it would be like. I was having a very hard time assuming what it would be like because I hate inferences and using things might cover. The Gayview we had to turn it in, I sat in the back of the room while others was trying to read there's out loud. And mostly was just a guy and a girl, it made me think. Why couldn't pick than two girls or two guys? So after that day at class I asked the teacher if I have extra time to write because I finally have come up with an idea. He said as long as I turned in the next day I had enough time to make it up for half of the credit. So I went home and I started writing up a storm for about two hours. I finished my hand was hurting. I got a C- on the paper n

you took me on a story in the beginning, I was conceived you were just telling me a story. like the ones you read in play scripts, but then when you got into being 12 and in 6th grade I could really tell how much passion was actually behind this poem. It was slam poems like these that originally got me into writing poetry and slam poetry. the fact this is your first slam piece blows my mind. you've earned a new sub:-))

She's so pretty.

This poem was so good! I mean, I've always wanted to hear from someone else what I had in my mind and you just said everything I could possibly think. I'm bisexual and as you said, I don't know what am I supposed to do if one year I'm dating with a girl and everyone thinks I'm "normal" and the next year I start a relationship with a man and everybody assumes that I'm gay, without caring what I actually am. Anyway I just wanted to say I LOVED your poem!

Knowing that you wrote this poem at 1 in the morning just adds to the fact how passionate you are about your writing. I thought that your poem was amazing and it brought some points that I never even considered to realize about how things are looked upon today. I'd also like to mention that I definitely believe that one can choose to be in two different careers. Like how you want to be an actress and a writer, you could write the script of any sorry you can think of and perform in it as well.

i used to be obsessed with this video 6 or 7 years ago, and i just remembered it and came to rewatch it - just as beautiful as when i first saw it

this saved my life when i saw it 5 years ago. i just rediscovered and all i can say is thank you

THIS WAS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can relate to this so much, and you phrased it wonderfully. Please don't stop doing this.

This is amazing! thank you so much for sharing this poem! It's ON POINT!

Yep, I get this big time, thank you so much for sharing :) As a Brazilian, that grew up in Scotland, who loved everything and everyone and could never and still can't decided on any one thing... Thank you. As a polyamorous, bisexual who's getting married this year, As a singer, writer, actress, life coach, yoga teacher, psychologist... Thank you xoxox

This is so cleverly done- I loved the concept x

I loved this. I enjoyed every moment from you sharing the fact that you had to tape your phone to your comp to you super excited that you nailed that in one take.... Keep sharing videos. Or writing, or acting. You have a beautiful presence that other should see.

I really relate to this as a pansexual 14 year old girl and I love it

THIS WAS SO GREAT AHH !!!

This was the most amazing poem I've ever heard. You have an amazing talent. I can't wait to hear more.

Omg this is so great! Although I'm not bisexual, I can completely relate to the rest. I'm 14 and torn about what I want to do when I'm older because society tells me I can only be one thing. You have a great voice for speaking/acting. Continue to do what you love!

incredible metaphors and build up, i love love love love this!

How excited you got when you finished in one take was the most adorable thing ever! I really liked your poem, and I loved your smile/laugh!

I loved how she tied everything together at the end

So powerful! And the ending was great!

So inspirational... I think this deserves MUCH more credit and it's so good! I love your stuff! :3 Keep it up!

I love to see the passion you seem for this and how excited you got when you finished it its nice seeing someone so passionate for writing :D

aw you were so happy at the end that was so cute

she's so cute and the slam poem was BOMB to think it's her first? no chill HAHAHA

Good Piece!

IF YOU WANNA BE A WRITER AND AN ACTRESS YOU BE A WRITER AND AN ACTRESS!! CUZ YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL AND YOU WROTE ONE OF THE BEST POEMS I'VE EVER HEARD!!!

hey. i watched this two years ago when i was just going into sixth grade ( i’m in eighth now ) and i’ve finally come back. i want you to know how much this has helped me throughout my middle school years. god, i was so scared to be myself. i’ve had the biggest crush on my best friend for years now and i’ve denied that shit because i’m sTrAight, but recently i’ve come out to my sister and friends. thank you :)

LOVED THIS! :) just for the record: the style is called "spoken word" or "a spoken work poem." a slam is an actual competition where poets or teams are judged. slams suck, in other words. ;) you have a gift for story telling. i'd love to see more. you popped up in my feed because i'm a big lover of poetry. i don't know what else you post about, but i think i'll subscribe just to see if you'll get down like this again.

I've never seen or even heard about slam poems... I do this all the time inside my head, I'm going to start to write them down. :D

I got chills at the “and my favourite colours have always been blue and green” omg this is one of the best spoken words I’ve ever heard

The youtube algorithm finally got a 5 year old video reccomendation correct. 10/10 Please make more content! I’d love to watch it

You have a beautiful voice ..

oh my god this was perfect thank you.

You are so beautiful and your energy is contagious. Thank you for this video. I needed someone on my side today and I'm grateful it was you!

your reaction at the end made me smile a lot omg also i loved the poem omg

I write slam poems all the time. I LOVE THEM!!! I'm 13. I record mine and it takes 4 ever to say it all right.

Being an actress and writer is my dream

Have come back to watch this so many times

I found your poem on genius and I'm really grateful for it, i love it girl

I relate deeply to this. I'm pansexual, so this is really nice. It's just.. really nice.

Awesome poem!! I might steal your idea of tapping my phone to my computer 😂

I found this in middle school when I was first starting to come to terms with my sexuality. I’m now in college and it’s crazy to think of the way this and a handful of other poems can have such positive//emotional affect years later❤️

Alyssa:"It's the Worse to Pick 2 things.2 Career Paths" Me have 3 Options in my Future...... aNd I OoP. But this is Seriously One of the best Slam Poems Ever.Great Job!!!!

I loved this poem, it spoke to me as a bisexual myself and because I've always had two favorite colors as well. Black and hot pink. :)

CRIES THIS WAS SO GREAT, GOOD JOB *saves and bookmarks to like everything* OMG OMG DO YOU HAVE TUMBLR OR KIK OR SNAPCHAT OR ANYTHING BTW?? I am gonna share this video a lot 💕💕💕👍

You did absolutely amazing for not having done this before! Good job!

I love how she is all serious at the end and then she gets so happy when she finished the poem!!

I love this poem. I can relate to a lot of what you have to say. Recently I made a video of a poem that I wrote and I normally use different people to read and I actually chose a female to read the poem. The main reason I decided to use a female voice was the exact reason you mentioned. I had been programmed to think that way. I love the way the poem turned out and it is great but I still feel like I have somehow not been authentic with my creation. Do you know what I mean?

This is so cute❤️

I loved this so much. Every word I was hanging on and loving the description and how clearly I could imagine it, I loved how you structured it in years to show how your entire life has been like this, and the same message every time of it being wrong, but baby girl you should never let anyone tell you that ANYTHING you want to do is wrong, if it’s as harmless as writing and acting, or liking two colours. I want to be a writer and a makeup artist. Two of my greatest passions! Two seemingly non compatible things. But I don’t see why that should stop me. The only thing getting in your way is yourself. If anyone doubts you, just pity them because they don’t understand how passionate you are, because when you’re this passionate nothing will get in your way. Remember I love you! And thank you so much for this.

this was perfect omg I love your personality and your writing is incredible.

I... Firstly this is amazing secondly you are extremely cute hi?

I love this because I'm bisexual and it explains it completely

okay okay okay i love everything about this. You are adorableeee. And this poem is perfection. And you have the perfect voice for slam poetry and aghhhhhhhh

Thanks for existing and making this poem, then uploading it on KZfaq and making my day a little less depressing

loved it :D tell me, do you have tumblr?

I dont know my sexuality

I love your vibrancy! Thank you!

This is the most beautiful thing I heard in a long time. It just feels so freaking brutal and true. Thank you so much for this. I feel it to my core, each word, each line, each sentiment. ❤️

Aw I read blue and green and I thought it was about Louis and Harry

I’m proud to be pansexual God I’ve never said that Thank you

This is my favourite slam poem yet. This is amazing. Thank you for writing :) x

This poem is so good, such a good way of touching on the topic and you're extremely talented!Well done!!

HEY PEOPLE I'M BISEXUAL just wanted you all to know ok bye

Oh my gosh. I'm a 12 year old girl who is bisexual. I love your voice. Tbh is kinda sounds like The Gabby Show. You probably sound AND look different now but eh.

i just start crying because all my life i've felt that way, and at some point it feels good to know i'm not the only one who have gone trough this. Thank you so so much for such beautiful poem

Beautiful. I love how this poem is disguised into many things. It makes the poem even more intriguing, favorite poem!

I'm not hating but just wondering: what makes a poem a poem? Because to me, this is a great video but it just sounds like a story.

Your voice reminds me of Emma Stone (:

THIS IS GREAT. Really, thank you for writing this, it is exactly what I needed to hear today!

This was truly inspiring, and just amazing! Thank you for putting this on KZfaq; I loved it
