The song matched against yours is no longer available, so I can't even tell what it was matching against. It does sound like you're using a lot of drum loops on top of each other, but that's not necessarily illegal.
What concerns me is your song, the entire way through, sounds pretty much exactly the same, and there aren't any other elements besides the drum loops and a single melody line throughout. Because of that, it's basically not fit for the portal unless you should add your own bassline, your own pads, and so on and come back; the rules are that your track should be at least 50% your own work, after all.
What will help you now: Proof you made your project, such as screenshots or links to the ST project (please don't send sensitive info publicly on the forums)
To avoid future problems: I would suggest to keep making music, but to switch to some other app besides SoundTrap if possible. You can always come back and say, "Hey, I make legit music now, not like the stuff I was submitting before. Please check out this new project I have and unban me!" Usually it's no problem.
Things that will not help you: complaining about being banned in your blog/other parts of the site, begging, or being rude.
