Childish Games
Little brother, little brother
Why do you sit in that cupboard?
It’s childish and foolish so why do you do this?
Little brother, little brother
Do you go in there to hide from the yelling of our mother?
It’s childish and foolish so why do you do this?
Little brother, little brother
Do you go in there to hide from the world and it’s ugly?
Oh how I bet that is lovely…
But…it’s childish and foolish…
Little brother, little brother I have but one more thing to say
Little brother, little brother can I come in your cupboard and play?

Other than those few things, I enjoyed it a lot. I like the refrains of "Little brother, little brother" and "it's childish and foolish," especially in the third stanza how you twisted it's meaning by putting in the ellipses. Overall, it was a nice poem, and congrats on getting it published! :)
