Insights within my scope

My life is like a stethoscope,
I sometimes wonder how I'll cope.
I'm ignorant of all around,
Yet within, I hear each sound.

My life is like a microscope,
I sometimes wonder how I'll cope.
Little things seem to grow in size,
Then tears start to fill my eyes.

My life is like a periscope,
I sometimes wonder how I'll cope.
Everything is so up and down,
Every smile becomes a frown.

My life is like a telescope,
I sometimes wonder how I'll cope.
My future is so very clear,
But I cannot face what's near.

My life is like a k'leidoscope,
I sometimes wonder how I'll cope.
The colours are all so vivid
But life itself is livid.

My life is like a spectrosope,
I sometimes wonder how I'll cope.
Somehow all life's competing strands
They make too many demands.

My life is like an oscilloscope,
I sometimes wonder how I'll cope.
See how fast my heartbeat can change
Watch how I cover the range.
