A metaphor about what?
A metaphor just uses a visual picture of something else to convey your meaning.
For instance, when I have a bad depressing day, I could use a computer metaphor and say: "I think my mental hard drive has a virus, I need to delete some people from my life."
Or you could be even simpler,
My day was a train wreck.

Sure: Life is a metaphor, a puzzle, a trick. It is a swaying tree in the spring freshet, nearly dropping one to the ground but then swinging back again.
