No Duplicate

A small metal object hides
most of my past,
it is the gateway into
problems and solutions,
I keep it hidden from sight - 
buried deep beneath the 
rubble of my life.
Every now and again
I choose to seek it out,
to search for truth,
to find honesty,
to find myself,
at times it barely
serves a purpose,
at other times it is a godsend,
showing me paths to avoid
and paths to follow.
That little metal key,
unlike any other,
is always with me,
always...
year after year.
