Do as the one with the big words once said

Counting the years pass by is just merely a formality,
I've never counted any and i do not feel less alive for it

I've dreamt of my years
but never wrote them a letter 
Why waste my days writing to them? 

Do not waste such words
Do not sound so desperate to die
i would not wish such morbid and terrific life on anyone

Do as the one with the big words once said 
And do not turn yourself older 
But invent yourself everyday.
