I really enjoyed it, it is strong and firm, and standing up for 'yourself'. Although it uses the same rhymes I find it continues rather successfully without too much repetition.

There are two lines of alternating repeat through out. I chose to vary them slightly. They way the repeats are braided into the stanza creates a waltz-like flow to my ear that fit the extended dance metaphor which I used for this disgruntled and trapped lover in a abusive relationship.
