Left out

Why do I feel left out? It's almost Christmas, I'm going to shout.
It's like I forgot about something, or did I forget about someone?
Oh well, I know everyone forgot about me 'cause I am almost a teen.
So when I look in the mirror, I say ugh, to myself just like everyone treats me.
That is why when I am feeling lonely, have no one to talk to,
I think of this boy, this boy Duke.
Duke is very special to me
even though he is imaginary. But he is still my friend until the end.
When everyone laughs and play, is it here bored all day
Then I remember all about Duke, he has no friends 'cause
He is kind of a kook, so everytime I go outside
Duke will be there by my side.
