It is a Japanese style of poetry. Three lines:
1st line--five syllables

Getting through a day without

Take it like a man
There is no point in fighting
We are what we are.

Hi, Airwick. On this thread we communicate what's in our heads by writing haiku poems: Japanese poems that have 5 syllables in the first line, 7 syllables in the second, and 5 syllables in the third.
