Poetry can tell a person alot of things. It can tell a story about pain and suffering, or happiness and joy. It can paint a picture made up of black and gray or all the colours imaginable. Sometimes it is used to vent all of the pent up frustration that needs to come out. Maybe it is a way to make sure something is not forgotten. For it to be passed on and remembered so that others don't make the same mistake. Maybe to let someone know that they are not alone. Poetry can tell a person alot of things. It all depends if they are willing to listen.
