Understanding Folding Lines Poem by James McLain

Second skins are the thoughts combined
when a mind perceives things awkwardly
taking a first look to dismiss a commonality
found deep with in the self.
Dismissing your self because you are taught
your conformance becomes individuality
is said to work for the whole
not the self.
Many here they speak of loss and pain
some times both.
The spark of me to gain in others shame
they see it not.
Does a truth deceive a lie? ..lost to find
in help...define..?
Yet a blazing truth goes home dismissed
hindering loves lotus nest to grow..........
deceived of even a day.
