Little bit of Trying.

Try a little bit harder,

reach a little further,

trying is the recipe to success,

It’s the only way for you to reach your best.

So why have we become lazy?

Why do we always take the road that’s easy?

That is my question,

can you afford the answer?

Lazy is easier...we have become a gotta have it right now, cant wait people...therefore the easy road is the fast road..which is not always the right road...

I like the way you make a statement then form questions. It's a classic way to draw a reader in intellectually. You might change 'further' into 'farther', although both words could fit the context the latter might sound better. The question at the end is a masterpiece. Most of us know what we need to do, or should do, but are unwilling to pay the price in physical, emotional or monetary currency. Good job.

Mostly, because we live in a "Want to have it right now"! world. Instant gratification. Everybody on the team getting a trophy no matter what. You mean I have to EARN it?

Very thought provoking and I wish I had the answer.

Yesss,,,,,,, becoz we lost belief in truth and ourself, we need thing early in what ever form they come, we became so restless that we don't bother to see whether it is right or wrong...............we are so much blindfolded by media for entertainment that we are ruining several other life's too at name of entertainment, we can't hold that grudge and cannot express it and that why we becomes a loner ............. and to gain the momentarily happiness....we choose the easy way out....

Very nice poem, thought provoking....:-)

It's always great to push yourself and do the best one can. I agree, many people give up, and that's not always good, as long as it doesn't kill you, go for it. This is very inspirational, it's useless being lazy, when there's just so much to do. Though many times, we lose ourselves in laziness because it takes less effort, and it's just easy. Though I like challenges. Great job.
