Is there any form of figurative language in this poem?
the sun did not shine,
it was too wet to play,
so i sat in my bed
for day after day.
so i stared at the ceiling
i stared at the wall
and deep down inside me
there was nothing at all
no anger, no fury
no happy or glad
just a big fat old nothing
that was nothing but sad
i called up a doctor
to say i felt blue
he said "there's not much
that medicine can do;
i'll give you these pills that
stop you sleeping right"
so i stared at the wall
for a day and a night.
my friends said "cheer up,
you have to be tough"
in the end i decided
that i'd had enough
