No. A metaphor is a form of comparison but not using the words like or as, unlike similes. An example of a metaphor is, "My lamp the sun in the darkness of my room."

An implied metaphor is a metaphor that makes a comparison without directly stating the comparison. An example of an implied metaphor is saying someone squawked out a reply, because it implies that they are talking like a parrot without saying it outright.
The water laughed as it flowed over the rocks.
Apophasis. For example "I won't even mention his failures."
An epigram is, essentially, a witty saying. An example sentence would be: Her epigram had everyone at the party laughing.
I am a mistake is not an example of a metaphor; I am a mistake means I am the product of a mistake.

A short, witty statement expressing a single thought or observation. An epigram can also be paradoxical in nature. Epigrams are similar to aphorisms; however, most aphorisms express a general principle or truth about life in a sentence--epigrams can be a bit longer. Example: "What is a epigram? A dwarfish whole. Its body brevity, and wit its soul." -Samuel Taylor Coleridge
"I am a rainbow" is a example of metaphor because it is comparing two nouns, a person, and a rainbow, but does not use like or as. "I am not anger" is an example of metaphor because it is contrasting two nouns.
