Keys
When given a key, one has many options. Keys are made to unlock things, so the obvious thing would be to finds something to unlock. Many things can be unlocked by keys. Doors, chests, cabinets, drawers, cells. Anything that contains things can be unlocked, but not all locked things have keys. Sometimes keys are lost, or forgotten, even purposely destroyed. Not all keys are tangible. The key to unlocking fire is creating a spark. Even emotions have keys. Anger, happiness, heartbreak, love. All of the have keys. Whatever makes one happy is the key to happiness. The loss of one's key to happiness becomes the key to sadness. The same is true for love and heartbreak. Some, when given a key, choose to hide it, afraid of the contents of its secret container. One might ask oneself why. Why should anyone be afraid of a secret? why would one hide a key in fear of its secret? Maybe because not all keys lead to love. some lead to death and even the key to love can be twisted an mutilated, becoming the key to heartbreak. Some keys do not open boxes, just as some boxes are not meant to be opened. Often when one wants a box to stay locked, the box is created so any attempt to open it would en in the destruction of its contents. Unfortunately, on will never know without trying. If someone fears a secret, how does one know that the secret won't be good? The secret behind the lock could cur heartache, but if one is too afraid to tr, too afraid to force the box open, to find out if the box was made to be opened, one will never know. The key will never be used and it will cease being a key. It will become an object, a shadow of the key it once was. For keys unlock things, but if it doesn't unlock anything, it is no longer a key, but a symbol. A symbol of what could be of what was. A symbol of secrets, never to be revealed. Even if one chooses to turn it once more into a key, one must be careful. Careful it is the right key, and careful that the box is meant to be opened. if when one opens the box, the contents are obliterated, the secret is again lost. The key will become a symbol, never to be a key again. But if one is careful, secrets can be discovered. Love, happiness, hope, passion. All can e unlocked if one uses the right key. When given a key, one has limited options. One can either use the key to discover secrets, or forget it and let it become a symbol.
Now I ask you. If I give you the key to my heart, will you use it, or will you keep it as a symbol of my love?
