Someone asked me
So you think, you can?
Survive, almost?

Yes please
Setting me free
You make me believe
So far away

I will try
Try my best

Climb aboard and take a ride
We soar high above the sky
Looking at the stars flying by
Soaring across the Milky Way
Just close your eyes and say
I’ve got this, my future awaits
Guide me to where I’m meant to be
I bow my head and pray
I’m thankful for my life everyday

Diska Kurniawan
Pukul satu, kakiku melangkah ke sudut warung kecil itu
Sunyi, lalu ku pilih tempat duduk di ujung sana
Setelah memesan kopi, pilot ku menggores kertas
Yang sama putihnya dengan kulitmu
Tak lupa kubakar ujung rokokku
Yang namanya sehangat pelukanmu
Lalu kuhembuskan kepulan asap tembakau
Menguar sama harumnya dengan tubuhmu
Sepekat nikotin di pembuluhku

Ku tulis kisah kita, dari awal mula hingga akhir bersua
Yang terdampar di sudut kenangan dan rindu,
dan kupaksakan masuk ke dalam loker kerjaku
Sehingga lupa ku adalah tabu, dan memoir adalah *****
Dirimu ku lukis dalam surat ini;


"Di hingar bingar kota, dimanakah kau berada?
Jika lelahmu beradu, dimakah kau berteduh?
Aku disini kasih, Surabaya tempatmu lari
Menolehlah jika kau ada di sudut persimpangan
Mungkin, aku disitu mencari dan mencari
Sisa-sisa cintamu jika itu memang terjatuh
Menadah air matamu, jika itu memang tercecer.
Temui aku, jika berkenan menjumpa nostalgia"


Kuhembuskan uap-uap tar yang menguning
Menerawang di bohlam remang-remang.
Ketika kabut itu pergi, begitu pula aku
Saat api ini padam, redup juga jiwaku

Pukul tiga aku beranjak,
Bayar dan pergi
Surat itu kutinggalkan di atas meja.

how
can i find
my way
out of your arms
when
your eyes
are asking me
to stay

I had a little cry today,
I shed a tear or two,
Though what about I cannot say...
I was just feeling blue.

aren't mountains
everything
close to the moon;

Strange, isn't it?

The way we mourn those
Still living...
I miss you.

Lye
The sunset sky
Lights a fire in her eyes

The one twinkling star
Ignites a liveliness in her heart

The swaying leaved trees
In her hair brings a slight breeze

And her beautiful face
Brings a feeling of grace
To any creature willing to see
I feel like the last line and the title ties in with the fact that most adults are unwilling to see teenagers and their opinions, as they are always dismissed as “uneducated” and “childish”.
