What's Your Superpower?

Am I Special:

I can play songs in my head

Yes I can perfectly replicate

 

(the) full-on

orchestral

every note

(when the lights / do down / in the city)

yet I cannot

 

compose, for example

 

and though when I was young I believed

 

that the fullness meant

I could recreate the sounds

I heard in my head with my mouth

 

I learned through painful iteration

painfully unsatisfactory

 

shameful the rendition

 

so partial

almost unrelated

the qualities are: note tone scale register vocality musicality

incapacity

painfully shy of representation

is there anyone?
