A casket of a thousand tears
A cursed box full of fears
For pain and suffering it was built
Full of tears fraught with guilt
They say every man who pursued the casket
Returned changed , with eyes drenched in regret
They say every man who ever dared
Came back , broken , beaten , scarred and scared
Countless tales about it were woven
All of which made my curiosity steepen
And so i decided to see it with my own eyes
To see if all the stories were not lies
Thus on a questionable journey i began
But soon i realized the error in my plan
Safely secured , secluded in the eastern grotto
The treasure made me reap what i had sown
While opening the casket i felt some creeping sorrow
Without any explanation , in my fears i began to wallow
In the puddle of tears , all my guilt was reflected
I could see ,everything in my life , I ever regretted
Soon my emotions were beyond my control
Before long , anguish began to plague my soul
I began weeping as I could not take it anymore
And my tears became a part of the casket forevermore
A cursed box full of fears
For pain and suffering it was built
Full of tears fraught with guilt
They say every man who pursued the casket
Returned changed , with eyes drenched in regret
They say every man who ever dared
Came back , broken , beaten , scarred and scared
Countless tales about it were woven
All of which made my curiosity steepen
And so i decided to see it with my own eyes
To see if all the stories were not lies
Thus on a questionable journey i began
But soon i realized the error in my plan
Safely secured , secluded in the eastern grotto
The treasure made me reap what i had sown
While opening the casket i felt some creeping sorrow
Without any explanation , in my fears i began to wallow
In the puddle of tears , all my guilt was reflected
I could see ,everything in my life , I ever regretted
Soon my emotions were beyond my control
Before long , anguish began to plague my soul
I began weeping as I could not take it anymore
And my tears became a part of the casket forevermore

An idea that came to me in the shower 
Don't know how it transformed into something like in the poem , but its still cool !
Its about this casket , i assume its a treasure and kinda hidden away , and its cursed or whatever not really sure , but every man who opens it is greeted by this box full of tears , which somewhat projects all their regrets in life and invariable makes them cry and makes them miserable for the rest of their life ....

This is very nice! It's a great idea. There are just two suggestions I have for this one. You kept everything rhyming expect one set of lines which sort of breaks the flow so maybe try using a different word for grotto or rearranging the words to create an ending you can rhyme. The only other thing was that in some places you capitalize the word I and not in others so maybe make sure to catch all those spots so it doesn't distract from the writing. I think this was a great use of the tears theme!
