What type of poetic device do we see in the line "Equality, and I will be free"? (6 points) simile refrain metaphor oxymoron

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Simili makes a comparison using like or as (a stone is like a pebble in the sea) Metaphor is the same thing, with out like or as (The stone became a pebble in the sea) An oxymoron is saying the opposite ("That's another fine mess you got us into Ollie") fine mess is the oxymoron. refrain could be an ending or a repeat of a similar theme throughout a poem. From this, what would you choose?

That would be my guess too, given what you gave above.

If you are referring to Maya Angelou's poem Equality, then the phrase you mention is repeated throughout her poem. Check the definitions shared by ssharp, and you'll have your answer.
