Sophrosyne

If you come to me in the middle of the night

Don't presume that I will open the door right off the bat

Never question my sophrosyne, it is for my protection
For I was once a prey of pinchers, my great destruction
When I welcomed them with my open arms
They just robbed my house and did much harm

Another new word, and this is very likely the first time 'Sophrosyne' has ever been used in a poem. History is being made before our eyes. Good job!
