What do you think this poem is about?

LEAVING

I'm going away,
I'm not here to stay.

It's been so long,
I can't take any more,
Now i'm leaving,
Closing behind me the door.

I'm not weak, but strong,
Now i'll stand on my feet,
My heart will start to beat.

Now i'm done and over with,
Now i finally can take a deep breath.

days were tough,
And i had enough,
I'll start a brand new life.

Too many years has passed away,
But today is my big day.
Deciding what to do, and who i will be,
The answer is simple, i just wanna be me, wanna be free.

I'm not coming back again,
I'm gonna stop the pain.

Stories come and stories go,
But our story will never be told,
This story is getting old,
The papers will not be unfold.

So believe me when i say,
I'm going away,
I'm leaving now not today,
Starting my life in my own way.
