Contradictions

First instinct is to second guess 
Quick trigger to point the finger 

Rigidly pushing against reality
Swiftly pulls us from actuality 

Let's not live in subtraction
But add up grace in its place 

Replace reject with accept 
To embrace all that we face

Our reactions are a choice 
Try choosing a positive voice
