Life Lessons from Simply My Swank:
Stop trying to play a role that is not yours. What if the goalie constantly played forward? The grass is not greener. Master your own, not your neighbor’s skills. Don’t live outside of your means. Stop thinking you are something you are not.




SO frustrated
I don’t know about you
but I don’t want to do
Everything HE can do.
I’m glad he’s here
to open jars
and fix the broken
and rusty cars
install my lights
when they are out
reach the pan
I want to shout!
you silly girls
that say this stuff
you’re not a man
mind full of fluff
makes you look dumb
like the sky’s not blue
I’m a girl
just like you
my eyes work
life plainly seen
I see the difference
my mind is keen
he can do
so many things
that I can do
so that brings
him value, worth
I don’t look at him
as such a curse
our future’s dim
it devalues us
like a stupid curse
we are not the same
and what is worse
it puts us at a vulnerable place
like we don’t get it
scrunched up face!
like a one year old
learning to walk
don’t get it yet?
mindless talk
it’s an insane say
we are so different
in special ways
my ego doesn’t have
to scream
I’m just as good!
what does that mean?
NO!
I’m not!
I can’t lift that load
or focus as clear
on that icy road
or drive that monster
of a truck
with 18 gears
through the muck
listen, I’m not saying
those are all things
that women CAN’T do
I hear ya’ll sing…
well, just cause YOU
can’t do that do…
doesn’t mean all women
can’t do it too…
I casually shrug
your focus is blurry
you’re offended
see through the slurry
my brain uses multiple
synapses, yes!
to get the job done
I never rest.
his uses one
focus steady
to get the job done
mission ready
“what are you thinking?”
she will ask.
he will answer
“the job at task”
she is thinking
everything all at once.
subjects her power
assuming, dunce.
Now they are fighting
about a care
a stupid woe
that was never there.
You’re telling me though
girls can do
anything!
girls are better!
yeah, sing that sing
la, la, la!
ridiculous song
la, la, la!
you belong
in a class
where truth is taught.
Pay respect
history bought
they work hard
they all fought
not you
not warriors
it’s okay
we’re glorious!
so please I beg
stop sealing your fate
we are all special
we all have roles
and they are valuable
special toles
so work hard
be great
at what you do
stop pointing fingers
and saying, me too
you look like a child
incessant me
over and over
see? see? see?
look at me!
I’m so great
yes, you are
but hang on wait
you’re ideas are nuts
you’re telling lies
everything is different
women aren’t guys
focus more on
what’s on your plate
and just be you!
girls are great!
be the best
that you can do
but don’t say things, hunny,
that just aren’t true
can we please stop being
so extreme
so disillusioned
so in between?
so uneducated
and embarrassing
let’s reorganize
say wise things.
please.
stop saying
I’m better
It makes you look silly
you’re not like him
you don’t have his willy
or the hair that grows
upon his chest
or the burden he bears
you’re not like the rest
you’re you.
so special.
a girl
be proud.
girl, you’re not
a man
just like a cow
isn’t ham.

1+1 does not = 3
it never has
and never will be
Ephesians 2:10
10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
