Tempted

School threats. To many punk friends misunderstood kids making threats. Very uncomfortable situation

I'm tempted. To many times 

i have felt threatened. 

To many lives have been affected

For the record, i dont feel protected. 

This kind of situation i don't want to mess with

I don't want to be involved. 

I don't want my kids In the middle. 

Wish i knew the answers to this riddle. 

Wish there was a way that we could be civil

I wish i understood. I really wish the terms 

were good. But i can't escape the feeling

the ones trapped inside the few are concealing

I'm worried sick, Can't deal with this

I'm tempted. I don't like feeling threatened

To many lives including mine are being affected

These types of forces i won't invite, to mess with

I feel tempted. For the record I don't feel protected

Becoming to known. Getting to close to home. Invading my comfort zone. I just dont know what to do. How else do i keep my children safe...it's a scary endever. Extremely diffecult to keep it together
