Heb je ooit het gevoel dat je vastzit in een kringloop?
Eerst gaat alles goed, voor een tijd
En dan stort je wereld in mekaar
En deze kringloop blijft maar duren
En hij gaat steeds sneller en sneller
Tot je op een bepaald moment het gevoel hebt dat je vastzit in een cirkel van pijn en verdriet
De constante dreiging dat je leven in mekaar gaat storten, maar toch niet op willen geven
Of het geprobeerd hebben, maar zonder succes
Maar toch probeer je sterk te blijven en de pijn te overwinnen
Keer op keer hou je de wereld rondom je voor de gek
En niemand die het merkt
Dat de lach op je gezicht slechts een masker is
En achter dat masker zit een verloren ziel
Die zo diep in zichzelf is gekeerd, dat er mogelijk geen terugweg meer is
Die ondanks het constante gevoel van onbegrepen te zijn, steeds weer doet alsof alles goed gaat
En alles wat die ziel eigenlijk wilt, is begrepen worden
This is in Dutch, so few of you will understand, I'm very sorry about that
The point is, this is an intro I wrote to a story I've been thinking about for a very, very long time
And at last, I started it, at least the intro (which will probably be the only thing of this story I will publish, on DA that is)
And I am not gonna tell much about it, only some very vague basic things
The story is about a girl, who gets stuck in a roller coaster of sadness
But she deals with this sadness and fear everyday, and finds a way to live with it and a reason to be alive 
Which does not take away her pain and fear, but only makes it bearable
The girl kind of resembles perfection, although it has its price
It's not only an emotional journey, her real life is also really adventurous, although she'd just like to live in peace
But she never gives up and keeps fighting for what she loves, while paying the price

The intro is about the constant sadness and the hiding of the sadness, it does not say a lot about the story yet, but it is really important to actually understand the story
I don't know whether I will translate it later on, but there is a reason I'm writing in Dutch
And that reason is, that I'm thinking about studying writing (or journalism), and I want to get better at it while I still can
I put this thing off for way to long, and now I really want to get started and finish it for once!

Another thing is the title, it's "Traum", this means "dream" in German, because the things that happen are quite unrealistic, like something that happens in a nightmare also she has this "dream" of living in peace and being happy
The main character is german, because I just love the German language, culture, Germany in general
Another interpretation of the title is "traum" from the English (and Dutch) word "Trauma", of which we all know the meaning I guess

And at last, and this is really important, I really would appreciate any tips for writing, really of any kind!
Thank you for your attention, have a nice day :)

I understand Dutch ^^
And I really really really like it
Idk if it's such a good sign I kinda recognized myself in it, especially about the mask part, but anyways, it's a very good expression of a sad persons deepest feelings. I admire your skills
And, Studying writing sounds like a great idea, I'd do it myself too if I was somewhat talented XD
