In A Dream Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFAGAHIJHKLMNO

at fifty I approach myselfA
eighteen years of ageB
seated despondently on the concrete stepsC
of my father's houseD
wishing to be gone from thereE
into my own lifeF
and I tell my young selfA
Nothing will turn out rightG
you'll want to avenge yourselfA
on those close to you especiallyH
and they will want to dieI
of shock and grief You will fallJ
to pleading and tears of self pityH
filled with yourself a passionate strangerK
My eighteen year old self stands upL
from the concrete steps and saysM
Go to hellN
and I walk offO
