Alone and Left Out

Why was I the only one left out?
Having to be still when I want to shout
A social reject, outcasted from the group
Turning to no one i sat on my stoop 
Alone without friends
Being the hand to no one I lend
Outside in a poor lonely heap
Undying is the rage and aching I keep
Trying to keep my calm face on
Making the happiness look dead-on 
Everybody fooled yet
?
