Poem i wrote...Thought on it?

[Mike Smith]

I wrote this but it has no title yet....any thoughts on it? Any input will be helpful.



Behind these bars that were created
By the words i could not speak
Through the walls of truth that falsehood cracked
My words havent been spoken, therefore cannot leak
Chained to this frame, by guilt i wont express
Blinded by the dark I am captured
In the cold hands of death
I created this prison, with things i left unsaid
Now these walls will break and form into
A resting place for the dead

i don't believe that "cliche" necessarily means "bad"

with that said, i like this - because i can feel exactly what your poem is expressing
and i think that is something that can make a poem enjoyable, regardless of a "cliche" meaning
I honestly don't understand how you find this enjoyable. How is cliché not bad?

This. I want specific examples of when a cliché makes for excellent writing.
