"mind."
"Released on Good Friday for Sexual Assault Awareness Month, "mind" explores the symptoms of trauma that survivors experience. I reflected on the British invasion while writing and producing this, so it features characteristics of rock! Listen for free, download the song for a dollar or more, and follow along with the lyrics below!
"Mind" is available on Spotify and other platforms, but each stream only equals a fraction of a penny. If you can download "mind" here for a dollar or more, I would really appreciate it!

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord, my soul, to keep
Thy love guard me through the night
And wake me with the morning light
Really, Lord, I mean that prayer
You know what happened when I was in that bed
Every night, I see those flares
Even though I am not there
I am here from dusk ’til dawn
I am on the lookout for the enemy
In a war that he started
In armor, not pajamas
No weapon formed against me shall prosper
I cry as I fall asleep
Trying to believe that You will protect me
Sound asleep, alarms go off
I jump up like
I can’t get no sleep
The enemy keeps bombing me with memories
Shooting fear asking what if any of this happens
Violence, death, loss
I keep panicking, keep convulsing
Please help me to keep fight
Oh my God! Did you see that
People from our army are attacking me
I called them to help me sleep
They answered to ambush me
What a clever strategy
Comrades who are soldiers of the enemy
I’ve got to step my game up
This is chess, it’s not checkers
Take every thought captive
Renew your mind
That’s what I learned in boot camp
Ugh this is way harder than I thought it’d be
It’s been years, when will this end
You yell, watch out
I can’t get no sleep
The enemy keeps bombing me with memories
Shooting fear asking what if any of this happens
Violence, death, loss
I keep panicking, keep convulsing
Please help me to fight on this
Battlefield in my mind
On this battlefield in my mind
On this battlefield in my mind
I’ll fight ’til I die
I’ll survive
Am I losing my mind
Think I'm losing my mind
I will not lose my mind, my mind
People think this war’s a dream
That battles are bedtime stories
You may have all of them fooled, not me
Now flee from me
You know how dangerous I am
When I remember
Who I am and who you are and that I’m stronger than you’ll ever be
Not alone, but always with Jesus
My night light, my teddy bear
You fear, so I’m not scared
I am Stephanie Marcellé Boyd
Crowned in Victory, Little Warrior
Daughter of God, Sister of Christ
Filled with Light, my power’s limitless
I am winning this war against darkness
On the battlefield in my mind, and
I will never, ever give up
In Jesus’ name, I fight, Amen
