Do Really Think You Are a Man?

I'm not supposed to curse...and I won't.

When you hurt your girlfriend,
Do you really think you are a man?
Because I don't really think you are.
Do you really think you are a man,
When you scream abusive words at her?
And you see her cry,
But you don't comfort her.
Do you really think you are a man,
When you cheat on her?
She loves you with all of her heart.
And you are hurting her like that.
Do you really think you are a man,
When you punch her in the face?
She doesn't deserve that type of treatment.
She deserves much better than you.
Do you really think you are a man,
When you leave in the middle of the night?
She is not knowing where you are,
But all of her friends do,
And she doesn't believe them.
She really loves you,
But you aren't there for her,
You are the one who has hurt her,
Given her a black eyes,
Which she hides from everyone.
She gave up her life for you,
But you treat her like crap.
For what?
Because you think you are a man.
I don't think so.
Keep thinking you are,
When she is crying for you,
Do you think you are a man?
'Cause I don't think you are.

I'm going to go with the answer to the question is no! Great poem. Huge outlay of emotion. I just hope the girl is someone else. It seems from the poem that she hasn't realized that answer or is still dwelling on what she thinks are his good points as she puts up with the screaming, hitting, and cheating.
You made me feel this one, like a blow to tge chest with each line.

very sinister way to make some man realize his mistake,
still, not mature enough...
I guess thts work as maybe tht guy is not even an adult anyway...
or man enough anyway...
