Breathing In Glory

I am splendiferous in all my shades of blue
my eyes are like fiery Saffire;
embedded in my skull
glee does not flee from me
don't trip over my wings,
no longer in a dream,
my pupils dilate at the sound of the universe
screaming at me to be free,
I demand faith;
serenity and loyalty
you can't break the broken,
but that's a lie 
because I'm no longer shattered 
I flow like the sea,
breathing in glory
I dream and I dream;
lost in thought 
there's nobody like me
egotistical?
Maybe you're afraid to be seen,
because if you ask me
I'm as poised as I can be,
compliment my stride
I will have everything that I need,
my bravery knows no bounds
the view from up here is breathtaking,
you know you can spread your wings;
and come and see,
I know not fragility
my battle scars make angels sing
don't believe me?
They're up there right now 
listen, as their voices shake the ground,
it's beautiful, I know
it's all this peace
I've gratefully found.
