The Sage

• Artist: SarahBrianne
• Description: A poem about me. I did fairly well in college and was always being asked to help. Since I was older than most girls at school, they would always ask me questions about life. I was happy to do it at first, but it became a nusence after awhile. So I wrote this poem to express my feelings about it.

People seem to want me
To give them all the answers:
Tell them what the world is,
Explain all that ocurrs.
But I am only one girl
Who's knowledge is quite small.
I couldn't tell you anything
Of consequence at all.
Except that I think life is
Just as you percieve it.
each person sees it differently
And takes just what they merit.
So don't ask me to give you
The all inclusive truth.
I'm not a fortune teller
In a fortune booth.
