I think it is a hyperbole because it says 'ever since I was born'. Obviously, this isn't possible. So, process of elimination comes in to save the day. It is not a simile because there is no 'like' or 'as' in the phrase. It is not a metaphor because the phrase does not compare anything. IT IS NOT A PERSONIFICATION BECAUSE THE phrase is giving an inanimate object emotions or other human details. So,
it is a hyperbole. This also makes sense because it is exaggerating.
