Anendophasia

I can hear sounds.

I can hear music.

I can hear laughter.

I can hear everything in my inner ear, 

But I cannot experience the inner sound of language.

I cannot speak any language in my head.

If I have an inner voice, 

It is an infant.

A baby who experiences the world around them so vividly,

But cannot express or even begin to fathom the words she needs to use.

She can see everything in front of her,

Hear everything in front of her,

And knows how she feels about the things in front of her,

But she cannot speak

She has not been taught language

She experiences thoughts in concepts and feelings

In images

Music

Moving pictures shot on a camera accompanied by an instrumental soundtrack.

However, Inner Voice isn’t from here.

She is a foreigner

Carries a dictionary

To translate her language in real time and speak the new language with only a few words per minute

She dreams of telling stories

But the voice is too young

Her hurricane of thought

The colors and sounds and feelings and pictures that come in just as quickly for her as they do for others,

She can only do as a baby does with it and scream.
