The Right to Be


At one point she had enough where times for her were very rough she sat down with a smile on her face and the bus still ran at its own pace everyone was getting on trying to go somewhere she could begin to feel the tension in the air people starting noticing, looking, seeing but she just ignored their feelings once she sat down she was there to stay no matter what anyone was going to say her pride took hold of her, wrapped her up but the passengers knew she would not give up even though she refused seat inside, she felt as if it was a defeat her stance made a mark on history that would stay for years, her personal story the tale of Rosa Parks and her will to live revealed that something had to give, so that every person on that bus had to see that she had a right, a right to be
