In Mother to son by Langston Hughes there are types of figurative language. The only one is a metaphor.
The metaphor is "life for me ain't no crystal stair". In the story they mean that their life hasn't been perfect, there are times when it is very hard to go on, you just want to fall down and stop. Even though you feel like this you have to keep going. Also in the book there are some things that adds to the feeling of the piece, the tone and mood. In the poem the tone was sort of frustrated. And when you read it you feel inspired because you feel as if you are the person the woman is talking to.
