  You buy that domain name, either through WordPress.com or through another domain registrar. Then you map that domain to your paperpoem.wordpress.com site.

  Here is the page about registering a new domain:

  But you don’t have to purchase the domain name through WordPress.com if you don’t want. You can purchase it through any domain registrar.

  But, how I will map that domain? and by doing this, will it affect my posts?
  i am pretty unknown about this stuff.

  There are instructions about mapping a domain once you own it. This doesn’t affect your posts. They’re still there at paperpoem.wordpress.com.
