My Relationship With Goosebumps

When I’m feeling undersized
Feeling something is out of commission
My hair on my arms start to boost
Bringing my goosebumps upon my skin

When water becomes gooseflesh
My goosebumps rise with no distress signal
My body starts to shiver
Like there’s no tomorrow

While my body is looking for that sea of flame
When my gut becomes stronger than my emotions
The hair on my spine start to rise
A tingly feeling passes in my blood
Until it reaches the goosebumps on my legs
Weaken my body

When I lay into a deep dream and it becomes a nightmare
I rise to jump with goosebumps all over my body

When I’m minding my own business and his voice touches me
O’ my, my, my
Those are the goosebumps that touch my soul
The ones I get when the man upstairs comes under my skin

Goosebumps
O’ my goosebumps
I love you so continue to glow
For the way, you flow any bad presence
Can hot potato my o~r~g~s~m

For you will always be my Indian tobacco sauce
Dancing around a fire of smoke
As the chief tends thy fire
My buddle’s in the keepers’ care
For my ceremony of goosebumps
Keep me surviving everyday
I would never complain
Only welcome thy feeling again and again
			The end!
