Cliches
“I know that life is hard
But I promise you that it gets better”
I hate when people tell me that
It’s always
“Keep your head up”
“There’s always a light at the end of the tunnel”
“It gets better”
“Things will get better”
“I promise it gets better”
“It gets better”
It gets better
But it didn’t
People love you but they leave you
They give up on you
There’s always more to a story than you think
You gave up on me
I feel like I’m not good enough
You’re making me feel like I’m not good enough
You told me goodbye and I thought that it was just for now
You meant forever
I feel like you’re giving up
Are you giving up?
I never thought that I would see you again
I never knew that you didn’t want me to
Sure, maybe you did deep down in your heart
But you looked me in the eyes and I knew
You were conflicted
I understand- I went through the same thing
I thought about you everyday
I think about you everyday
I don’t understand
What did I do?
I’m tired of things being taken from me
I want you
I’ve been yearning for so long
I want to be with you
I just want me and you
I’m ready
But are you?
-we were supposed to be a love story but now I’m not so sure anymore

Yep. Cliched language comes from empty heads repeating received ideas, and poetry is an antidote to that.
