What figures of speech (like metaphor simile ) are used in poem The House By Warsan Shire?

The poem is built on an extended metaphor—that of a woman's body as a house. The house comes to represent the way that the speaker sees herself and the way she visualizes relationships with others.

The rooms of this house are metaphors for different parts of a woman's emotional landscape. The tools that men use to break their ways in are also metaphors for the ways that men force themselves upon women's bodies and spaces, physically or mentally.
