What kind of figurative language does Hughes use in this stanza to show his mother's view about life?

Well, son, I'll tell you:
Life for me ain't been no crystal stair.
It's had tacks in it, And splinters,
And boards torn up,
And places with no carpet on the floor - Bare.

I think metaphor or personification

Explanation: I say personification because she uses non living things and compare them to his/her life and metophor because there isn't like or as

draw a angle for example the 90° angle the vertex is the middle so put a letter there and other letters at the x and y axes of the angle when ever u wright the letters together for example < abc (the lest than sign is how u wright it) b will always be in the middle no matter what b is the vertex also

hope that !
