Vampire Sonnets Xiv Count Me In

Did this vampire think I would not comply?
Chance expected me to let someone die;
Blood lust has taken away my conscience,
 compassion is no match for violence; 

Being treated horribly for so long  
can really do nothing but make you strong;
All the anger that was never addressed,
the woman I once was there’s nothing left;

Suddenly everything went crystal clear, 
two pairs of eyes had become a mirror;
To me it was not too complicated;
Something about this? I felt vindicated; 

Rage like a storm was brewing deep within,
a smile grew and I whispered ‘Count me in.’
