Cliche Speaks On..‪.‬

I have decided to go by the pen name Cliche because I have always loved to go against the grind and push peoples buttons. I have always been considered a rebel with a cause that has never been afraid to piss people off. The purpose of Cliche Speaks On... is to touch on political/social, emotional and spiritual issues people are afraid to talk about because I feel if I dont talk about them then nobody will.
