Poems For Review › Opinions by Teethomas(op): 8:21am On Oct 23
The voices you entertain today become the convictions you carry tomorrow. You cannot build hope while constantly feeding on hopelessness. Protect your mind by filtering what you repeatedly consume by Choosing voices that inform you, not voices that imprison your expectations.

Poems For Review › Heaven Is On A Place On Earth by Teethomas(op): 10:43am On Sep 03
I
They say heaven waits beyond the sky,
Where angels sing and spirits fly;
But what if heaven is not so far,
Not hidden beyond some distant star?
II
Heaven is a mother’s tender embrace,
A helping hand, a smiling face;
A friend who stays when others depart,
A little kindness that heals the heart.
III
It is hope that survives through pain,
A gentle sun after the rain;
It is love that asks for nothing in return,
And kindness that keeps the cold heart warm.
IV
So let us build heaven day by day,
With every kind word and good deed we say;
For heaven may not be somewhere above,
Heaven is the world we create with love.

Family › Marriages by Teethomas(op): 2:52pm On Aug 28
Social media amplifies failures because they attract attention, but quiet, healthy marriages rarely make headlines. Don't mistake what is loud for what is common.

Poems For Review › Stories by Teethomas(op): 11:22am On Aug 18
A thousand broken stories should not silence the millions of successful ones. Wisdom is not hearing everything, it is filtering what deserves to shape your thinking.

Family › Marriage by Teethomas(op): 10:20am On Aug 12
Marriage is not defined by the loudest negative stories but by the lives of those who choose to build it well. Guard what you listen to, because repeated negativity can become unconscious truth.

Poems For Review › The One Who Stays by Teethomas(op): 8:39am On Aug 10
I
I know so many faces,
I speak to quite a few,
I share my laughs and moments,
But not all hearts are true.
II
Some people come for seasons,
Some stay only when it's bright;
Some disappear in darkness
When you need them most at night.
III
But friendship isn't numbers,
Or the crowd that calls your name;
It's the one who stands beside you
When there's nothing left to gain.
IV
So after all the people I've known,
The ones I've loved and held so dear,
I'll treasure most the one who stays,
When everyone else disappears.

If all you feed your mind with is the failure of marriages, don't be surprised when fear becomes your expectation. Filter your ears before fear filters your future.

Literature › True Healing by Teethomas(op): 8:53am On Jul 31
Have you ever noticed that even after the rain has stopped, droplets continue to fall from rooftops and leaves? Human relationships often reflect the same reality.
A person may choose to forgive an offense and move forward, yet those who witnessed the pain may continue to hold on to the hurt. They seek justice or even revenge for a wound that has already been healed through forgiveness.
Just as lingering raindrops keep the ground wet long after the storm has passed, resentment can linger in the hearts of others even after forgiveness has restored peace. True healing begins not only when the offended forgives, but also when those around them let go.
Nairaland General › What Are Your Favorite Emojis �? by Teethomas(op): 1:25pm On Jul 28
I
If words are powerful, emojis are loud.
They whisper feelings we don’t always type… and shout moods we can’t explain.
II
Are you the 😂 type—always laughing, even when life is side-eyeing you?
Or the ❤️—soft, warm, and full of love in every message?
Maybe you’re the 😌—calm, unbothered, living life one deep breath at a time.
III
And then there are the mysterious ones…
The 👀 that says “I saw that.”
The 😏 that means “I know something you don’t.”
The 🔥 that turns anything ordinary into something worth noticing.
IV
Emojis aren’t just symbols.
They’re personality. They’re mood. They’re you—in tiny digital form.
V
So tell me…
What are your favorite emojis, and what do they say about you? 💭

Poems For Review › Be You by Teethomas(op): 9:51am On Jul 16
Do not wage war against your essence in pursuit of acceptance. A rainbow owes no apology to colour blindness; its brilliance is neither diminished by unseen beauty nor validated by borrowed sight. Not every eye is fashioned to behold every wonder. Become no less radiant simply because someone lacks the vision to perceive your light.

Poems For Review › Hurt by Teethomas(op): 2:44pm On Jun 28
Do not be quick to take offense at hurt, for we are all guilty of wounding in unseen ways.

Poems For Review › Wounds by Teethomas(op): 1:23pm On Jun 23
Be careful how loudly you cry over wounds, for the hands you call cruel may be bleeding from yours too.

Poems For Review › Standing Whole by Teethomas(op): 10:04am On Jun 14
Mock not the hand that gathers little by little, for the one that feeds on others will never know the pride of standing whole.

Poems For Review › Survival by Teethomas(op): 2:11pm On Jun 13
The still void ridicules quiet progress, yet survival tied to another’s breath is no life at all.

Poems For Review › Little Beginnings by Teethomas(op): 7:35am On May 19
An empty hand mocks the hand that is slowly filling, yet forgets growth that leans on others never learns to stand.

Business › Staying Broke by Teethomas(op): 6:59am On May 13
Most people stay broke not because they don't earn enough, they stay broke trying to figure out the problems of everyone around them. The real flex of life isn't in what you buy or do for those around you, but in what you do not need to prove.

Literature › A Memorable Camping Experience by Teethomas(op): 7:16am On May 06
Camping is one of those experiences that stays with you long after it is over. It is not just about leaving the comfort of home; it is about stepping into a simpler, quieter world where nature becomes your closest companion. When asked the question, “Have you ever been camping?” many people may give a simple yes or no, but the experience itself is often much deeper than that.

Camping offers a unique opportunity to disconnect from the distractions of everyday life. In a world filled with noise, screens, and constant activity, going camping allows one to slow down and appreciate the beauty of the natural environment. Imagine waking up to the sound of birds singing, breathing in fresh morning air, and watching the sun rise over trees or hills. These are moments that cannot be easily replaced by anything artificial.

For those who have gone camping, the memories are often vivid. Setting up a tent, gathering firewood, and cooking meals over an open fire create a sense of independence and teamwork. Nights are usually spent sitting around a campfire, sharing stories, laughing, and sometimes even singing. The sky, free from city lights, reveals countless stars, reminding campers of how vast and beautiful the world truly is.

However, camping is not without its challenges. There are no soft beds, no steady electricity, and sometimes no easy access to clean water. Weather conditions can change suddenly, and insects can be quite disturbing. Yet, it is these very challenges that make camping meaningful. They teach patience, adaptability, and resilience. One learns to appreciate even the smallest comforts of life after spending time outdoors.
For someone who has never been camping, the idea may seem uncomfortable or even unnecessary. But many who try it for the first time often discover a new appreciation for nature and simplicity. Camping does not have to be extreme; it can be as simple as spending a night in a nearby field or forest with basic supplies.

In conclusion, whether one has been camping or not, it is an experience worth considering. It offers adventure, learning, and a break from routine life. Camping reminds us that sometimes, the best moments come not from luxury, but from simplicity and connection with the natural world.
Literature › The Compass Within: Discovering Direction In Life by Teethomas(op): 10:34pm On May 02
Direction in life is not always found in grand moments or sudden revelations. More often, it grows quietly—from the values we hold, the experiences we gather, and the choices we make each day. For many, direction begins with a sense of purpose: a reason to wake up in the morning and strive for something meaningful, whether it is personal growth, service to others, or the pursuit of a dream.

Values play a powerful role in shaping this direction. When you know what truly matters to you—integrity, kindness, success, faith, or family—it becomes easier to make decisions that align with those beliefs. Even in moments of confusion, your values act like a compass, guiding you back on track.

Experiences, both good and bad, also contribute. Success can build confidence and clarify your goals, while failure often teaches deeper lessons about resilience and self-awareness. Over time, these experiences refine your understanding of who you are and where you are headed.

Finally, direction in life is sustained by vision. It is the ability to imagine a better version of yourself and take steady steps toward it. This vision does not have to be perfect or fixed—it can evolve as you grow. What matters is the willingness to keep moving forward, learning, and adjusting along the way.

In the end, direction is not something you find once and for all. It is something you build, nurture, and redefine as life unfolds.
Literature › Dependence by Teethomas(op): 7:24pm On Mar 24
A small purse mocks a rising one, calling it poor just because its growth is steady. Yet it survives by clinging to a bigger wallet. Dependence never builds security, stand on your own and stop living off others.

Literature › Entitlement by Teethomas(op): 4:30pm On Mar 19
Expectation without effort is a silent admission of entitlement.

Literature › Criticism by Teethomas(op): 8:50am On Mar 17
Dear folks, stop criticizing growth no matter how small when you contribute zero.

Literature › Familiarity by Teethomas(op): 7:42am On Mar 16
Funnily, I realized that most times we search for the feeling of love in the wrong places, ignoring the fact that it might be standing right in front us in plain sight from someone we see everyday , and the only factor that has blinded us so far is Familiarity.

Poems For Review › First Class Liar by Teethomas(op): 6:07pm On Mar 09
I.
He wears the crown of silver tongues,
A master of tales, where truth is undone.
Every word a silk-spun thread,
Every glance a story unread.
II.
He paints the sky with borrowed stars,
Turns whispers into roaring scars.
Promises glimmer like morning dew,
Yet vanish like smoke before they’re through.
III.
He dances in masks of charm and guile,
Each smile a trap, each laugh a mile.
You think you know, you think you see,
But he bends the world where it should be.
IV.
First class liar, top of his trade,
A phantom king in a masquerade.
Beware the voice that soothes too sweet,
For lies like his leave hearts in defeat.
V.
And yet, the thrill, the twisted art,
Of watching the truth fall apart.
A first class liar, they say with awe,
But even kings of lies meet law.

Literature › Compatibility by Teethomas(op): 8:28pm On Mar 07
Being remarkable doesn’t guarantee everyone will value you. The real lesson is not to force acceptance, but to find people who naturally connect with who you are.

Literature › The Devil by Teethomas(op): 7:21am On Feb 26
Here are 6 things the devil is innocent of that many people don't know,

1)Your bad decisions
2)Your lack of discipline
3)Your refusal to forgive
4)Your uncontrolled anger
5)Your laziness disguised as prayer
6)And Habits you refuse to change

The devil tempts but the choice is yours.

Literature › 666 by Teethomas(op): 8:17am On Feb 18
I
It was never just a number,
it was a test wearing a symbol.
A shadow asking the soul
who it truly belongs to.
II
It spread through trade and thrones,
through hunger dressed as peace.
Not burned into flesh,
but pressed into allegiance.
III
The world bowed to convenience,
called survival wisdom.
Truth was hunted into corners,
and courage learned to whisper.
IV
But the count ran out of breath.
The shadow met a louder name.
What rose on fear collapsed in fire,
and the false crown cracked.
V
Then light claimed what it always owned.
The faithful stood, still standing.
The mark vanished like smoke,
and the last word was life.

Literature › Celebration by Teethomas(op): 12:51pm On Feb 13
As we celebrate in life, irrespective of the course, let's not forget to checkmate our excesses during the realm of excitement, because atimes our excitement can make our celebration short-lived.

Literature › Prayer by Teethomas(op): 10:16am On Feb 12
No matter how deeply you pray, there are certain things God will not take over for you:
• He will not substitute discipline with divine intervention.
• He will not increase what you refuse to cultivate.
• He will not override the decisions you insist on making.
• He will not reward rebellion.
• And He will not transform those who are unwilling to be transformed.

Belief in God does not cancel effort — faith must be backed by action.

Literature › After The Betrayal by Teethomas(op): 10:54am On Feb 10
I
It's unfair, isn't it?
The ones who betrayed us....
They laugh, move on and live,
As if nothing ever mattered.
Meanwhile, we are left here,
Replaying every memory,
Every lie, every promises that were shattered.
The pain doesn't fade,
It only grows heavier with each passing day.
II
And the worst part?
We loved so deeply, trusted so fully.
Only to be abandoned in the aftermath.
Every heartbeat feels heavier,
Every smile forced,
Every night colder.
We are left to pick up the pieces of a heart they never cared to break gently.
And still...we wonder why it hurts so much.

Literature › The Weight Of Almost by Teethomas(op): 8:53am On Feb 05
I
Let it drift with the gravity of then,
Let the flame write my leaving in ash.
Let it fall till I’m standing in ruin,
For loving you now bars the doors I once had.
II
Let it thin, every promise undone,
Let the sparks bruise the ribs of my chest.
Let it sink; this soil breathes only poison,
We both know nothing living grows here.
III
Let it break, it’s beyond being saved,
Let it rain on the bones of my hope.
Let it glow; even fire learns silence,
Every light casts a hunger for dark.
IV
Let it slip, there’s no circle back home,
Let it burn as it rests in my sight.
Let it end; this road’s lost all its language,
It was luck, reckless luck
That you were once mine.
V
Yes, I know I went straight for your heart,
Pulled the thread till the fabric gave way.
I should’ve run, disappeared into distance,
No undoing, no mercy for what we became.
VI
And I hear what you’ll say: “It’s too late.”
No excuses, no hands left to hold.
Still, if time ever loosened its grip,
I’d return in a breath, just to lose you right.

Literature › The Home You Never Leave by Teethomas(op): 9:23am On Feb 04
I
Through all my years upon this earth,
I’ve wandered through the minds of many,
Sojourned across distant places and borrowed walls,
Homes I once departed from,
Yet somehow never truly left.
II
A home I return to in my quiet hours,
Where fear is rewritten and love takes new shape,
Where pain is repainted in softer colours,
Making release gentler than remembrance.
III
As fresh memories are formed, the home reveals itself,
Etching its essence into the very fibres of who I am.
IV
So when the pull pushes you away,
And the push draws you nearer,
It is not the past calling you back,
It is the home, reminding you never left.

Literature › Your Thoughts by Teethomas(op): 8:54am On Dec 22, 2025
A wise man once said : "One tree can make one million matchsticks, but one matchstick can burn one million trees"

So is your mind a forest of possibilities, don’t let one negative thought become the matchstick that sets it ablaze.
