Quiet, Smart and all alone,
walks this person I didn't know.
Their eyes on the floor all time,
like there was something priceless below.
That person- I would say,
was amazing in a unique way,
like never had they thought of,
what enjoyment really was.
One day I decided to follow,
I'm not really a stalker although.
Just curious as I may describe it,
this cat went through all the house rows.
When I found where they stayed,
I climbed the roof and went in,
trust me-I am not a thief,
just as curious as a kid.
I saw that person sitting on a chair,
reading a newspaper of yesterday,
'Man that was weird' I had thought
and that moment I was caught.
That person smiled when they saw me,
which rose my confusion pace
and they asked what I was doing there
and how I passed the gate.
I was so surprised by their voice,
that my leg felt glued to the ground,
this awkward moment almost killed me
and I wished a hole to rise from the ground.
Then I remembered my mission,
to know the reason of their silence,
I slowly walked towards them
and asked "Are you an alien?"
That person laughed loudly,
making an ocean of embarrassment in me,
though that colgate smile made me sink,
in another ocean of senseless guilt.
Guilt of liking it endearly,
wondering how heavenly it was,
thinking why actually did they never,
had shown this side before.
'Of course not' they said with the same smile,
'Why would you ask?' they questioned.
And stared at me like "I"
was the strange one.
'You never spoke' I said innocently,
'And how can you say that?' they asked the same way.
'I speak when I need to and don't when I shouldn't'
that is all I think they could say.
Okay, this was not expected,
such an easy answer had to be inspected.
After all the hard work I had done,
how could 'this' be accepted?
So I just stood there staring at them,
hoping that mouth to open a little,
but oh! That person was so stubborn,
that they started a staring competition.
Finally when we were tired of our absurdity,
he spoke once again with clearity,
'If you really want to know the reason
then why not we become friends for once?'
Awestruck, astonished and surprised
I just nodded with a smile.
This day was so crazy to believe
that I felt frozen for a while.
I just realized I had made this new friend,
whom I had never spoken to in my life,
and in no place other than his own house
Oh my! How lucky am I?

Hhahahahah I really loved the way you wrote the poem. When I was reading this I totally forgot where you did mistakes and errors. All I could just see and enjoy was the theme of this poem. Stalking... Really Great! I loved the lines
"in another ocean of senseless guilt"
"Oh my! How lucky am I?"
And alot more lines.
A few mistakes here and there but Social is dricving me crazy and internet is dragging me inside it. So i REALLY need to leave YWS Right now and have to study!
TAKE CARE!!
Hi umaima,so here is Dark to give review on your poem.
I really like the poem written in narrative form. Where it is easier to understand and written in a leisurely style.Only one that made me a bit tortured here is when reading a lengthy poem with words that are less meaningful.I mean, it's just pointless,when in fact this great poem actually can be shortened by just put the important parts only.However, I am excited with some parts of your poem which highlights the variations inside-indeed different with other humor poems.
# making an ocean of embarrassment in me,
though that colgate smile made me sink,
in another ocean of senseless guilt. -->I really love this description of your poem!
Also,the end of the poem is good to me too.It is a humor that give lessons to the reader;
# I just realized I had made this new friend,
whom I had never spoken to in my life,
and in no place other than his own house
Oh my! How lucky am I?
Well done and keep it up 
Kudos,cheers

Yo.
This is my perspective and I do not know your intentions and motives in writing this.
First of all I felt it was really really random. At first it was all good but after they got in the window it wen't super weird. I did make sense, what was happening, but I feel like the whole ideas are just really random and it sort of makes me feel like when I was writing my bad story and I was just trying to throw everything in as possible. (Don't worry this isn't bad like that XD just using it as an example)
To be specific it was the alien bit. I thought "what the?" when I read it, the ideas don't seemed to be planned or placed, just thrown in there, and the guy just seems so chill that a crazy person is in his house.
Also lines like this I feel a random and unnecessary.
Why? because of a few reasons.'You never spoke' I said innocently,
Hi there! Ariana with your review. So to start off, I must admit this is a bit lengthy 
But it was nicely done. You had some nice descriptions and you really placed the image in my mind of a stalker and the stalked. I admit I would have appreciated some stanzas, but knowing YWS, of course we could place blame on them for that Fortunately, this was good poem, nevertheless. I really like some of the imagery you used here. I do think, however, that I spotted a mistake here. I'm not sure if "clearity" is a word. Forgive me if I'm wrong but I believe it's "clarity". Anyway, like what the reviewer below mentioned, I was definitely a fan of the imagery. The similes and metaphors and such. So I'll end this review by saying you did a good job, and I look forward to reading more from you.
Hahahaha!!! I loved this poem! Not a fan of the punctuation, but I could totally relate to the whole 'stalking' episode [my friend and I ended having an entire conversation about the difference between creeping and stalking]. I like the imagery and vividness of the poem.
The only thing I would comment on is this: why do you call the stalked person 'they' sometimes, and then 'him' others? If it's a guy, then you should probably edit all the 'theys' right out of there.
Hope this helps!
