Can you help write an extended metaphor comparing me to an m & m?

isnt a metaphoring comparing to things using like or as
yes
you are as unique as an m and m
You as sweet as an m an m
You as sweet as an m an m
A simile compares two different things with "like" or "as."
A metaphor does not use those words.
The outsides of M&Ms are different colors, but they are all alike on the inside. M&Ms are sweet. Are you?

Why is it no one wants to get a definition any more from a good dictionary? Here's the definition but better dictionaries will even use the word in sentences for you!
