In the poem Dreams by Langston Hughes, the narrator is advising the reader to never stop dreaming and to never give up on a dream. The reason for this is because he/she feels that the world is a very depressing place, but dreams can make it wondrous and exciting ("Life is a broken-winged bird/ That cannot fly").
The figure of speech used in the bolded lines is a simile. It compares life to a broken-winged bird that cannot fly, emphasizing the idea that without dreams, life loses its ability to soar and reach its full potential.
