Nope.
A metaphore is a. . .
NOUN:
A figure of speech in which a word or phrase that ordinarily designates one thing is used to designate another, thus making an implicit comparison, as in "a sea of troubles" or "All the world's a stage" (Shakespeare).
One thing conceived as representing another; a symbol: "Hollywood has always been an irresistible, prefabricated metaphor for the crass, the materialistic, the shallow, and the craven" (Neal Gabler).

No, that is just an observational statement. A metaphor is a direct comparison usually between two or more seemingly unrelated subjects. Usually like.. "The [first subject] is a [second subject]."

This is a metaphor:
The castle moat is the road to nowhere - you always return to the same place.
