Matthew Leggett Biography

I'm 17 years old, from Devon in UK, and most of my poems are inspired by Philip Larkin, who is an absolute legend. I guess alot of my poems might seem a little dark, but that's not an indication of what i'm like. Please don't think i'm some kind of emo or goth. It just seems that i'm better at writing poetry when i'm in a darker mood, i become more expressive and creative. that's why i don't have that many poems - I'm normally really happy and therefore suck! I also prefer to enjoy the good things in life, so I'm too busy to write about them!)

The Best Poem Of Matthew Leggett

All Men Are Exactly The Same

Men haven’t got a sense of emotion,
They shrink from love like shadows from a flame,
They cannot give all of their devotion
To one heart, one face, or one name.
'All men are exactly the same.'

Men never want to make a connection,
(Except, of course, that they always do!)
They’ll tame you and add you to their collection
Of women they had, but never knew.
'All men are exactly the same.'

Some men, however, will love you for you,
Their one aim in life is to make you feel
Safe, secure, and special. These men will do
Anything for you, the love they give is real.
Not all men are exactly the same.

Just give me the chance to show which one I am,
Every day I’ll try to share with you
The happiness you’ve given me. I’ll do anything I can
To show you that this love, our love, is true.
I’m not the same.
