Inner Pain

I saw him today,
The boy from whom you told me to stay,
I saw pain in his eyes,
Eyes blue as the sky's,
His sadness, fueled by others hate,
I wonder if this is his fate,
As the others turn their back,
I can sense his heart is under attack,
Another whispered, I could barely hear,
"There is no were to hide,
From the demon inside",
As his shoulders shudder from his inner pain,
I begin to feel pity for him once again
