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.
Hope it helps. :)

In this passage from Henry David Thoreau's Walden, the narrator uses strong sensory language to create clear images - to, in essence, paint a clear picture in words - of the forest and the hills. The narrator is able, through the use of such strong sensory language and imagery to give the read a clear image of what he is describing, which, in turns, makes the scene he is describing come to life.
