Metaphor is a type of figures of speech. It's like a comparison to simile. Simile is easier to identify and it's often used "like" or "as". In metaphor, "like" or "as" isn't being used, so metaphors may sound a bit vague. In metaphor, you need to think really deeply and find out something that is not this thing and it's other thing. It can be confusing or it can sound nonsense. Metaphors are difficult to identify.
A metaphor
Yes, "do you ever feel already buried alive" is a metaphor that conveys feelings of being overwhelmed, trapped, or suffocated by life's challenges.

Metaphor
Metaphors can be quite difficult to identify. Metaphors mean a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable. We need to think deeply about identifying metaphors. The sentence in a metaphor may be vague and nonsense and don't make logical sense. An example of metaphor is "If he stocks his prey, he's a shadow.". He's not actually a shadow. It looks like he's a shadow because he's trying to scare his prey away.
A metaphor is the comparison of two unlike things.
The metaphor for "harsh" could be "a bitter pill to swallow," implying something difficult to accept or endure.

Whether or not prejudice is difficult or easy to identify when it is occurring varies from case to case. In some instances it is so blatant, that anyone can easily identify it. In other cases, it is more subtle and it may take longer to identify.
