Flower


My flower is wilting

It’s petals

Dropping slowly

And though I feed it

With confidence

Reassurance

And hope

The days where

The sun is 

A little less bright

Take a toll

On this little flower

Trying to keep

It’s head upright

Please realize that "Matt Mapps" is my pen name and not my real name. Figured it be fun to have that. I am female and identify that way; just a tomboy nothing more. I'm a college student loving my education and loving my university. I am gay and I love writing. I try to avoid love poems but at the same time the heart wants what it wants and sometimes it needs to release some of those emotions out. I don't have a specific style though I do like the repetition form in my poems; gives emphasis. I just like writing and have done many forms of it. Poem has been my love for many years now because it's short and can (sometimes) be easy to get out and (sometimes) doesn't take too much time.
