Choose words that have more than one meaning, or at least several possible connotations. And if your refrain isn't working as you go through the poem, change it for one of your other b-rhyme lines and see if that is any better.
It's best not to shoe-horn the rest of your poem in just to make the refrains work. If that's necessary, it's the refrains that are broken.
