The Right Key

By Kuru

It sounds simple, almost too blunt, but maybe that's the point. Not every hand deserves entry. Not every attempt is meant to succeed.

We twist, we force, we fumble — blaming the lock for being stubborn, broken, unyielding. But maybe the lock isn't at fault. Maybe it's simply waiting for the shape it was built for.

And the thing about locks? They exist for a reason. To protect. To keep safe what's inside. A wrong key isn't just useless, it can damage the lock, leave it scarred, or jammed. And once that happens, even the right key struggles to turn.

Some doors don't stay closed because they're cruel. They stay closed because they're not yours to open. Forcing them doesn't make you stronger — it only proves you were never meant to enter in the first place.

Sometimes, the real wisdom is in stepping back. In accepting that the lock was never broken. The key was never yours.

A lock only opens with its own designated key.
