It's very difficult to say without knowing exactly what you mean. You're better off just posting the story to the workshop first and if it's hackneyed and cliched then that'll come up as part of the feedback you get. You'll also get suggestions on how to make it stand out. But there's no way to know whether a story is too similar to another story without actually reading both involved.
