No one or nothing, is as it seems
Expectations, are only dreams
Walking through life blind, not on alert
Walking yourself straight down a road to hurt

Can't live with yourself, for what you didn't do
Your mind plays tricks, forever haunting you
Got no power, like you're in a spell
Thought you're so strong, how easily you fell

What you thought was different
Turns out just the same
New players step in line
To play again the same old game

Many tears ago
You pictured how you thought it would be
Many tears ago
Disappointment wasn't a reality
Thought you'd found someone like you
But watched it come and go
Life was so much easier,
Many tears ago

Wow lostboy! I don't even know what to say. This went straight to my soul. Every single line is the exact description of me. This was wonderful. I think my favorite thus far.

LostBoy this was wonderful.  Many tears ago I was young and at my prime, living life to it's fullest not settling for sublime..
I too felt this was written for me exclusively.  That is the best compliment you can receive about a poem you've written.
Congrats this one is superb

Very nice poem.  Liked your use of many tears ago instead of many years ago.  I often measure time that way.  When was the last time I cried, how long did it take me to stop etc!  Very nice indeed!
