Blue and Green - A Slam Poem on Bisexuality

I wrote this poem at 1:00am a few nights ago and since I don't know of any places that do slam poetry near me, I decided to record myself reading instead and post it here.
Excuse me being a fucking dork and also reading the poem off of my phone because I don't have it memorized.
I hope you enjoy it.

    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.

    +Armilla Posadas What you said is very true I feel that I might be bisexual, but I'm not sure. I haven't said the word out loud to anyone, but i have told some siblings and friends that I've had feelings for certain males or females. I really don't know if I am bi and I don't think my mom would take it well I keep telling myself if I did come out I would wait until I stopped living with my mother. That way if she wanted me out of her life I wouldn't have to see her or depend on her every day, but I still can't think about how I would tell her. She is also a Christian and low key homophobic so i don't know how well she would take it. I feel like these feelings are just crushes and I haven't ever been in a relationship so I don't know if I am bi or not. I think I might be.

    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.

    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.

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.

    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!!!

    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

    Despite what the C- says, I'm so happy that you had the bravery to put yourself out there. To try and put out something new. My English teacher constantly reminds us that an idea is the most powerful thing on Earth and if you are not using your imagination, you're doing it wrong, and I strongly stand by these ideas. I'm not sure if you got a C- because of your writing style or your idea, but if its the latter, he needs to understand that ideas should be encouraged and that his job is to help execute these ideas properly. I hope you know that even if your idea wasn't appreciated by him, it was appreciated by so many others. -sincerely, a fellow 13 year old

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.

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?

    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.
