I need 3 pieces of figurative language from this text.

"I woke up this morning
Exhausted from hiding
the me of me
so I stand here confiding
there’s more to Devon
than jump shot and rim.
I’m more than tall
and lengthy of limb.
I dare you to peep
behind these eyes,
discover the poet
in tough-guy disguise.
Don’t call me Jump Shot.
My name is Surprise." -Bronx Masquerade
