Which literary device is used in the comparison between the speaker's experience of fleeing the country and floating in the ocean?

I let myself lie back in deep waters,

my arms out like Jesus' on his cross,

and instead of sinking down like I'd always done,

magically, that night, I could stay up,

extended metaphor

symbolism

simile

theme'

    The answer would be - extended metaphor. It is not a theme, a simile has this schematic form (as red as a lobster), there aren't many symbols here, so this is an extended metaphor, or an allegory.
