In the poem there is figurative language such as using “Crystal stair” (a metaphor) which refers to a perfect life. Also in the poem problems that occur or challenges are referred to tacks, splinters, boards which are metaphors. Another example of another metaphor is when then poem states “Don’t you set down on the steps.” This means don’t stop climbing the stares and don’t stop giving up.
