Living A Cliché

As I lay here wandering through
All my never ending thoughts
I begin to realize what it is
To truly be living a cliché.

I once thought that if I truly
Tried to understand what life
Was all about, I would reach
The conclusion that it was for naught.

I see love stories being written
And being told on the television
And all I can think is that what if
All of that was over used in reality.

And as I watch celebrities die
Or I see friends go down
As I watch lives be turned around
I realize that life is a just a cliché.

I've seen hurts and pains
I've heard heartbreak and tears
I've told broken promises and lies
And I wonder what did I do?

I have fallen in and out of love
I've given my all to good and bad people
And I have told my story to a lot close friends
And I've lived for everything in one good night.

I ask myself and my Savior ever night
What did I do to live in such a cliché
When all I see is violence, heartbreak,
drugs, murder, rape, and broken promises.

I better myself every day by doing
Less and less of the bad things I do
And bettering my spirit by doing more
and more of the good things I should do.

Living a cliché, I ask myself
Is that what humanity was
Truly made to do in this life
Or were we made for something more?

So I implore you reader
Do you wish to lead the cliché
Or do you wish to create the cliché?
Are you living a cliché?
