This is a poem I wrote and it's about my older brother, whom I've always wished I was closer with. For once in my life, I actually made every line rhymed. Please review! I'm very proud of this poem because I included a lot of symbolism. Constructive criticism is appreciated!

I Actually Wrote An Emotional, Symbolic, Rhymed Poem
Of all the things we burned
And all the lessons learned
I still can't comprehend
Why you won't repent
Days wasted in youthful ignorance
Barricading ourselves in blissful fences
Through pizza, games, and gore
I know I'm just a bore
You treat me with apathy
Whereas I give you sympathy
I know it must be tough
Because of what you are, life must be rough
You take your rage out on me
A way to let it be free
I get pissed and call you horrible names
Always giving you the blame
I wish we were closer
But it will not be said the mighty Sir
You never show affection
To you I'm an infection
I don't mind too much
So go out with her to lunch
But can you, for just once
Before I go away for months
Do you care about me at all?
Because between us there's a wall
A barrier you put up long ago
So you could go with the flow
You know the loneliness I felt
The pain inside I held
She says you love me
But I can't believe what I can't see
So before you become a man
And go out to the world to meet never-ending fans
Please, tell me one thing
Why inflict pain on me, knowing it will sting?
Before you leave in the Fall
Do you care about me at all?
