is the phrase, "sway like a boat" a metaphor or a simile?

i think its a metaphor

Similes always have "like" or "as" in them. Metaphors don't.
ok, thank you!:)
You're welcome.
When you're comparing two things (such as "sway LIKE a boat") and use key terms such as "like" or "as," it automatically becomes a simile because metaphors exclude these terms.
Eg. "As brave AS a lion"
Eg2. "Cold AS icecubes"

Hope this helped :)
