What is wrong with you? The muse in this piece is a seraphim who befell upon me from heaven to inspect my faults, exact judgement and execute the appropriate changes to right the wrong that is me. Her pleasure is to make me look like her.

What is wrong with you? The muse in this piece is a seraphim who befell upon me from heaven to inspect my faults, exact judgement and execute the appropriate changes to right the wrong that is me. Her pleasure is to make me look like her. Removing my facial hair represents her power to change my apperance. Hyperaggressive masculinity berates and insults the feminine with bullying and namecalling. This is what happens when the tables are turned on masculinity. It is reduced to a mere maleable appearance.
