Symbolism is something that is used to represent another thing, for example a shield may be a symbol for protection. In this poem the symbol is the bluebird, and it represents vulnerability or emotions that the narrator doesn't want anyone to know.
The motivational speech "how bad do you want it" strongly represents the concept of the bluebird to me. In the motivational speech it talks about success and what you need to do to achieve your goals, and this speaks truth to me. What it means to become successful illustrates to me what a bluebird is because not everyone wants to show their true aspirations to the world and most people just conceal it rather than let it out. People dont want anybody to know how bad they truly want something, like in the speech.
From personal experience I don't let anybody know about my own bluebird because I don't want to risk exposure and I believe that is how everyone is.
