Confused Key

It seems life just gets harder. 
But through overcoming obstacles 
The mind gets stronger.

That's what many explain to me. 
I seem to recognize the concept and posses this key

I feel it gets misplaced most of the time 
Maybe it will imprint soon 
So I can distance myself from crime

Alone and confused was the I've taken,
Education is my only tool, but many say I'm mistaken

I want this search to be over 
Be grown, alone, and, not confused 

The highest power is recognition. 
Be different with strong ambition. 

But life only gets harder 
To maintain, is the higher power  

Now, I find fun locating the key 
And its effect is brightening
