Photo is not mine. This is about my aphantasia. I genuinely cannot picture things. Ask me about it. As always comments are appreciated. I tried a new style. Did it work?
When I close my eyes I see Nothing. No people, no places, No shapes, no faces, Not a singular picture Not an image or scripture Just darkness. "Imagine an apple." I can't and I won't For I simply don't Know how. "Just picture it inside the eye of your mind" Well, what you will find Is in no place and time Will I ever be able To see what you see. The people around me all think that I'm lying But for when I was young I was clearly not buying The thought that they could see it, but I wasn't prying So I didn't realize, I thought I was dying Or something was wrong with me. I can't picture faces, can't imagine things My stories come in words and thoughts held by strings I speak to myself because that's how I think As if my ideas were written in ink I never imagine, I only plot out I ignore the people who constantly doubt I don't know how or why my mind works this way But when I close my eyes and people say, "Imagine an apple" I just see darkness and gray
