Grief is a Privilege
In “Grief is a Privilege,” Zariah Perkins reflects on the loss of her mother and the way grief can serve as both a wound and a gift. The poem honors the pain of loss while also exploring how that pain can be alchemized into resilience, love, and spiritual grounding. With affirmations of healing and strength, the piece embodies her commitment to transforming personal sorrow into a source of light.
Grief is a privilege of knowing the depth of love.
I am free. I am me. I heal inside and out, beautifully.
Soul too deep for meaningless connections.
When you forgive you heal, when you let go you grow.
I am powerful and in control of my reality. I am worthy of all that I desire. I trust in my limitless
potential and power.
A negative mind will never give you a positive life
On the road to inner peace, taking unfamiliar streets.
To evolve you have to let go.
In darkness, shine your brightness
I love myself with every breath I take,
Abundance flows in every move I make. With open heart and spirit free,
His love will find its way to me.
I am in great health, health is supreme wealth, I am disease and sickness
free, I am the healthiest version of me.
God is my peace of mind. The old me is left behind.
