Lost, broken, drowning
Voiceless, invisible                   Voiceless has potential.
Empty 
I came to you
 
Secrets spilled                            These two lines are good
Shame released
Tears shed
Pain endured
 
Taught to breathe                      
To hear the God within
To trust
To hope
 
Guide needed                     The ending feels anticlimactic.
God sent
Heart opened
Voice found
 
Forever grateful.               Sounds cliche to my ears.

Someone who was once silent was taught to speak their mind. Having more of a laser focus on that aspect of the poem would allow the story to feel more connected. 

The poem, for me, is in these lines:

Voiceless
I came to you

secrets spilled
shame released

Voice found   ....(this needs more depth)

In my opinion, a lot of lines do not hold a solid direction, and can be trimmed. 

.........

Hope I could help! Thanks for posting.
