Answer:

Life being smooth and beautiful

Step-by-step explanation:

A crystal stair is smooth, beautiful, and has no cracks. Therefore, the comparison implies that life is not smooth and beautiful. Instead she describes, like I said earlier in the literal meaning, a worn-down staircase. The “tacks”, “splinters” and “boards torn up” represent the hard times and adversities in life.
