If you don't learn to write your own story, someone else will write it for you
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.
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
