We Were Latchkey Kids

I can not remove those impressions made, In my youth. Nor can I replace misconceptions done, Of how my growing up in the projects... Was not for my sister and I lives filled with fun. I for one had little if none. We were latchkey kids! Chores and responsibility came early for me. And I made sure my sister Mim, Didn't think what I did... Was going to make her life a breeze. If I had to wash dishes and sweep... She was not going outside to play, A game of hide and seek. I was young and disciplined. And she, at times, grew to despise me. But we... Were latchkey kids.
