But we also act in other social situations like family functions, being out with friends, church service and any other groups we may involve ourself with. If we want to keep the peace, then we pretend to go along with everything because raising objections will only have us labeled as one who has "too much drama".
So when are we ever truly real and who should we be real with? We have to choose carefully because even the ones closest to us may still want to act a part and "play nice" rather than have a true relationship, difficulties and all.
There are those that we absolutly must be real with and not act. With immediate family, our spouses (including potential) and our children we should always be real with because they know us better than we think and they will be able to detect when we are being real or if you are just 'playing along".
But there is one with whom being our true selves is absolutely necessary and that is with God. it is here, in the presence of the Living Creator of all that was, is and will be, that we must have a true account of who we really are because God knows our inner most parts of our being and we definitly will not be able to lie to Him and get away with it. Being real with God helps us better know ourselves because God will show us who we truly are if we are willing to accept it.
When who we are is defined and validated by God, if we are "in Christ", then our 'acting' job will be not so much a facade but a more authentic reflection of our true selves and a reflection of the true God that we serve.

HAIKUS
my imperfections
paint me as a hypocrate
disregarding truth
heavy is the weight
of unfair expectations
crushing you to death
Jesus you are left
everyone has run away
all I have is You
God's word brings forth life
within it there is power
yet death is embraced
my imperfections
paint me as a hypocrate
disregarding truth
heavy is the weight
of unfair expectations
crushing you to death
Jesus you are left
everyone has run away
all I have is You
God's word brings forth life
within it there is power
yet death is embraced
profession of faith
actions do not match the talk
God's name used in vain
I could leave right now
pursue everything I want
where I go is death
drugs sex rock n' roll
masking all your inner needs
one day you will crash
pick and choose your faith
at the cosmic candy store
here your soul will starve
THE FIGHT
The fight to keep my identity Is taking everything out of me
An uphill battle with little gain Has become an emotional drain
Throw in the towel I'm calling it quits I can't take it anymore
All emptied out, it's over, you win You can drag me off the floor
The battling has taken it's toll To the point where it's sapping my soul
Losing my passion by way of theft Don't know if I have anything left
I'm so weary of this endless fight I will surrender by end of night
The social collective pulls me in Let my indoctrination begin
Throw in the towel I'm calling it quits I can't take it anymore
All emptied out, it's over, you win You can drag me off the floor
