Empty Corners

 If it is so dark I cannot see

How then, do I know it is the dark that envelops me?

I cannot touch these invisible walls & yet it denies my eyes

From seeing all that lies beyond.

So how can it be that I am free to walk through this black oxygen

To seek and find for myself, but not for fear?

And so I sit here in the silent company of darkness daring not to move

For when I stand and reach for light, it strikes me down without word

So down I stay this time to sit and wait

For what I do not know.

Maybe the tallest of all ladders  so that I may climb

One rung at a time and reach the mountainous sky

To kiss the moons milky white face and taste a little on my lips

Just enough to illuminate my heart and spark my soul

To light my path & lead me safetly from the dark where

I have been lost for so long

Me, M.E & Her.... Mama Chill

Image
Because it’s sometimes been cause for confusion I thought I’d explain why as music artist “Mama Chill”  I combine it  with M.E Campaigning.  Like many of you living with this illness, I was living a relatively normal life before being struck down, and that life included seriously making music amongst other things, & I’d just started getting major record label interest when M.E decided to stroll along and strip me of my health, followed by my job, my social life, my music and just about every damn thing it could strip. Having been told that tha illness would mean any chance of   a music career was well and truly over…. A sense of humour and fight for survival were about tha only two things I had left .   Like most of you with M.E I’m guessing you often have   that   feeling of limboness…..is that even a word? We lose our place in tha world, our sense of direction, our  reasons/motive for going on, we become lost, left behind,...

M.E Vs M.S Let Battle Commence

Image
After the sad news broke that Jack Osbourne had M.S, the  social networking sites were awash with shared news articles, and words of sympathy and one of our Facebook friends had written “wish it could have been M.E” not that they wished any kinda illness on Jack or anyone else for that matter, they were just saying what a lot of us M.E sufferers were probably thinking. The amount of publicity and celebrity support has been, and is going to be enormous, a publicity and support we could so do with in the M.E world, BUT…..yes, theres that word again, the infamous but…..i firmly believe that if Jack Osbourne had been diagnosed with M.E instead of M.S there wouldn’t have  been any media frenzy, there woudn’t be an interview in OK magazine, it wouldn’t of been splashed across the front of the national newspapers and it wouldn't have been on every news channel going, and the reason for this is, if he had been diagnosed with M.E instead of M.S I believe he wouldn’t of an...

M.E? THAT DONKEY KONG VIBE

Image
Trying to do normal things when we have M.E takes Ninja  skills for sure.   M.E is a bit like tha retro game of  Donkey kong, you can bet your bottom dollar that just when we’re feeling smug at having outsmarted M.E , made it to the second platform and escaped its evil clutches……BAM!  That pesky gorilla gets a direct hit with tha barrel of badass M.E badness sending us rolling back down to tha bottom again. Hey Come on, I’m not askin for enough energy to save some hysterical damsel in distress at tha top …… gimme a break? So last Sunday  15/12/2013  I’d been invited into VIBE 107.6 by tha lovely Nia Visser  for her live on air Raw Vibes Christmas special, woo hoo!...oh hang on, I don’t perform live, due to the likely chance of running out of every last drop of breath mid song….& with tha usual headful of Marshmallows it means remembering where I am can be a task in itself  let alone a whole song. But Nia was fine with that an...
