Goosebumps Verify Aliens Are Real

They are all laughing and guffawing.
But they do not read the books I do.
And they do not have my heartfelt messages.
The ones that are so absolute
That I know what I know without knowing how
Yet I do know.  Verification comes in goosebumps.
It is an inner knowing none of them have.
I do not tell them either
For it is something else they would laugh about.

What is going on? I ask them.
John thinks aliens are real, Tim says.
They explode into enormous carnival rides of laughter.
John gets mad and huffs off.  I follow him.
Come on back! Someone yells. I ignore this.
I think we do have aliens I tell him. He says “yeah, right.”
Don’t bother, an inner voice says, but I ignore it.
I have thought it for a long time, I say.
He says something means and shoves off.

An inner voice says “told you.” 
Yes, I knew better. 
I had been trying to get someone to listen for the past ten years.
It is an inner knowing that aliens do exist.
My neck saturates itself with goosebumps
Verifying that aliens do exist.
That is how I know.

I hear you... Although I say that I've got enough weirdos to worry about right here on Earth (lol) without having to mess with aliens too --- unless they mess with us first! ~ gw

I have a feeling they would be more kind than earthlings.

I believe in them, Caren. Just too many people out there who have experienced it. I do not think they can all be liars!
