“My mind floats like ash. I blame myself most cruelly.”

“No Blame: The most liberating and empowering day of my life was the day I freed myself from my own self-destructive nonsense.”

“I don't blame anyone for my failures i blame myself for not seeing what's really ahead of me...”

“I feel myself floating without the weight of him on my body.”

“Tis true my form is something odd But blaming me is blaming God Could I create myself anew I would not fail in pleasing you. If I could reach from pole to pole Or grasp the ocean with a span I would be measured by the soul The mind's the standard of the man.”

“I want to tear myself from this place, from this reality, rise up like a cloud and float away, melt into this humid summer night and dissolve somewhere far, over the hills. But I am here, my legs blocks of concrete, my lungs empty of air, my throat burning. There will be no floating away.”
