I lie down under the burden
of the courage that I lack
For you to see the sin in me
cannot be taken back
It is my greatest fear at times
you might finally know
The dark and filth I tasted once
I never want to show
Exposure of who I really am
could drive your love away
After all you’re only human
dare I hope that you would stay?
The truth of exposure that I do not fear
is a mystery not of loss
but a debt that is paid fully
willingly hung upon the Cross
Jill Autrey Dorman 
Good one.
Those of us who willingly live our faith in the public need simultaneously embrace the fact that our brokenness is on display as well. If we display our faith but are reticent to display our weakness and inconsistency along with it, we are less than genuine. Authenticity will always leave the person of faith in a necessary place of tension, because to truly embrace faith in Christ Jesus is to admit openly (confess) our incapacity to live justly, rightly, mercifully, unselfishly on our own.
