There is no place for Ella

There is no place for Ella.
In 18 years.
I’ve looked everywhere.

There is no place for Ella.
Not in someone’s mind.
They don’t think of her.

There is no place for Ella.
Not in someone’s heart.
They don’t feel for her.

There is no place for Ella.
Not in someone’s schedule.
They don’t have time for her.

There is no place for Ella.
Not in someone’s plan.
They don’t want to include her.

There is no place for Ella.
Not on someone’s team.
They don’t want to lose.

There is no place for Ella.
Not in someone’s holiday.
They have more fun things to do.

There is no place for Ella.
Not in someone’s workplace.
They only see a burden.

There is no place for Ella.
No true friends.
No boyfriend.
No job.
No driving.
No college.
No hopeful future.

There is no place for Ella.
Except in our home.
She naps.
She watches TV.
She takes long baths.
She eats.
It is all she has.

There is no place for Ella.
I’ve exhausted every idea.
I suppose I thought she could find a place.
That she deserved a place.
That the world would offer her a place.

Her light is dimming.
My hope is extinguished.

There is no place for Ella.
I’m tired of the fight.

The only place for Ella.
Is safe in my embrace.
