Gradually - Rosie Thomas

Gradually I will get wiser

I will get stronger

I will be bolder

I will not settle

I will flirt back

I will stand up or

I will sit back

All this time you thought I was

Weak when I was just pretending

I was just pretending

All this time you made me believe that

I should be sorry

I should be sorry

Gradually

I will outrun you

I will outgrow you

I will ignore you

I will see clearer

I’ll overcome you

I will acknowledge how far I have come

All this time you thought I was weak

When I was just pretending

I was just pretending

All this time you made me believe that

I should be sorry

You should be sorry for making me fall

Gradually

I will get older

I will get wiser

I will move slower

I will see clearer

I’ll over come

I will acknowledge

How far I have come

All this time you thought I was weak

When I just pretending

I was just pretending

All this time you made me believe that

I should be sorry

You should be sorry for making me fall
