Once looking out from lighted shadows of safety
Now unhiding burdens no longer weighty
Once witnessing past mirrors reflecting wobbly boundaries
Now unhiding true strength within my dreams
Once remembering echoes of unbalanced validation patterns
Now unhiding freedoms, joys, and unbridled passions as it happens
Once settling for worthiness that has been idle
Now unhiding strengths to embody my healthiest cycle
Once staying small to comfort others
Now unhiding passions to confidently face lovers
Once untrusting myself and others to protect and shield
Now unhiding inner doubt, truth, and confidence healed
Once pitying blessings that evaded
Now embracing miracles fueling dreams celebrated
Once disconnecting from love to mask heartbreak
Now unhiding to consciously heal heartache
Once escaping traumas by neglecting needs
Now unhiding by sowing healthy seeds

Beautiful thoughts in this poem wishes and acts for others nicely stated
I really like the structure of this poem: the repetition or "once" vs "now" is super powerful. This is a beautiful poem of strength, to which I applaud!
