Gum

While driving back to school, I wanted to just pull over and grab a nightguard somewhere with nothing to do but listen to me. I just want some stranger to hug me, with a genuine feeling of human empathy, and to console me just because I'm a human in need. They don't need to understand. They don't need to know me. They just need to feel for me. Because if I go to a friend or my parents or even my boyfriend, they will only go through the motions to make me feel better. They wouldn't feel for me, they'd just try to make me stop feeling bad. I just need a bit of humanity to kiss me on the forehead. God, where are you?
