I wrote a poem for a class I'm taking.  You can see the huge difference between the rough draft and the final.  (If the rough draft gives you a headache, don't read it.)  I've had a lot of fun writing it, I've come far trying to make it as neat as possible.  If you're wondering why I ever would post all three drafts on here, it's another assignment (I have quite a bit of fun blogging for my homework).  Here it is, I hope you enjoy it.  I would bold the changes to make it more interesting, but there's too many.  Good luck.

Final Draft
I have the heavy burden of facing off evil.
Those who love me and those who hate me know me well.
Without me, darkness would run wild in the streets and storms would rage in dark clouds.
Neither can live while the other survives, whether that means the darkness or me.
With no one to support you, these challenges get lonelier and harder than they already are.
However, that is not the case.
I have great friends, all of whom are brave enough to stand with me.
My enemies have much to say about me,
But, by the end of my story, I want to be remembered as I really am, not who they say I am.
I am Magic Heart, but I have spoken for Harry Potter.

Third Draft
I have the heavy burden of doing my homework and facing off evil.
Those who love me and those who hate me know me well.
Without me, darkness would run wild in the streets and storms would rage in dark clouds.
Neither can live while the other survives, whether that means the evil or me.
With no one to support you, these challenges get lonelier and harder than they already are.
However, that is not the case.
I have great friends, all of whom are brave enough to stand with me.
My enemies have much to say about me,
But, by the end of my story, I want to be remembered as I really am, not who they say I am.
Today, I have seen through two different pairs of eyes… four including both sets of glasses.
I am Magic Heart, but I have spoken for Harry Potter.

Second Draft
Right now I live in two countries at once: America and England.
I have gray eyes and brown hair, but also green eyes and black hair.
I feel a scar next to my eye and on my forehead.
I have the heavy burden of doing my homework and facing off evil.
I am invisible to all except those who hate me or love me.
Without me, though, darkness would destroy and storms would rage.
But, for now, I am invisible.
If only the entire world was on my side.
With no one to support you, life’s challenges get lonelier and harder than they already are.
Only one can live while the other dies, whether that means the evil or me.
I can’t run from my destiny, but at least I will not be alone.
I have my friends and those who are brave enough to stand with me.
I want to be remembered as I really am, not who my enemies say I am. Soon, I will live only in America and have one set of characteristics.
However, as of now, I see through two different pairs of eyes… four including both sets of glasses.
I am Magic Heart, but I have spoken for Harry Potter.

First Draft
Right now I am in two countries at once:  America and England.
I have blue eyes and brown hair, but also green eyes and black hair.
I feel a scar next to my eye and on my forehead.
I have the heavy burden of facing off evil and doing my homework.
I am invisible to all except those who hate me or love me.
The trouble makers wish I wasn’t there.
My friends would go with me to the end… or at least think about it.
Without me, darkness would rampage.
But, for now, I am invisible.
The world needs to hear the message I wish to share.
The world should be on my side.
With no one to support you, it gets lonelier and harder than it already is with all of the challenges life throws.
They don’t have to have magic or step way out of the way, they just have to be my friends.
If nothing, they can’t knock me down.
My friends and family are dear to me, so if I don’t come back one day, want them to stay safe and not mourn forever.
Dying will only reunite me with those I have lost along the path.
Only one can live while the other dies, whether that means evil or me.
I will try my best to succeed, but there will be sacrifices.
My life is a good story, but it isn’t easy to live that tale.
It is my destiny.
I can’t run from it.
At least, I will not be alone.
I have my friends and those who will be brave enough to stand with me.
I want to be remembered as I really am, not who my enemies say I am.
Soon, I will live only in America and have one set of characteristics.
However, as of now, I see through two different pairs of eyes… four including both sets of glasses.
I am Magic Heart, but I have spoken for Harry Potter.

But I,, with him insides me.  Telling me what ito write, asking me to write to for him.  , I can’t igonore him.  I can’t refuse to seack what he whants the world to sayhera.  ?He needs them world to remember him.  He needs to he wourdl to be one his wised.e With no one wone to support you, he says, it’ gets very lonely and harder than the it already is , with all of the challenges he goes through.  He has to face Voldemort eveyr year, mulptiple times, so the least everyone can do is support him.. They don’t have to help him with magic ofr actually defeating Voldemort, they just have to believe him and be his friends.  They jcan’t reidulce him or call him insane anyomroe . He is a vey normal hreo and shouldn’t be treated like a insane criminal.  He kalso wishes to say that he loves Ginny Wealsdely and all his friends, so if he dones’t come back one day. He wants the m to stay safe and not rtty to get revenge.  Only on e can live while the other doies.  He doesn’t want to the be the one that perishes in, but he dones’t really have a choice.  If Voldemort it s to o strong, he will fail.  That’s just life for one of the m ost famous peopltenenage boys in all of the world.  I , cora hammer do not dney tah.  I kidn of want ot get back to the life of just dreaming of the mgagic world jinstead of lvinign it with haryy potter . it isn’t fair to make a fmuggle girl do the work othat really should have been harryp opotter ‘s .  However, that it sis not up to me.  I whave to fkeep writing and already I’m going to far off subject form where harpy porter whatnatds me to be.  It do that--.  He arry wants me to say that he will try this best , but he wants us to know that it isn’t without sarcrifice.  He dknow s that his life is a good story, but people often ouverlook how diffifulct it wactually is to live that stale.  The reality is harsh, but he will altlasest chas to bear it.  It his is destinty.  He can’t run from it.  He can’t hide from it It is part of him.  Not to mention it oculd have been Neville Longbottom’s --.  Back to Harryp owtter.  He says thsy dhe wants to see his lsot famliolky again anywawy, so don’t tbe to said  tif he has to leave this wordl.  He will just be reunited with his family.  The people that he lsot if n the along the path of his wicked destinthy.  At least, he says, he will not bne alone,.  /he has if his frineds and , hopefully, by the end iof this, he will whave you.  The reader of theis pager.  That’s was all he needed to explain.  All that he really wanted to sasy.  But I think there is more.  Being inside harry.  , I know all his thoughts.  He want s people to remember him as a good hero.  One hathat wasn’t a coward or a lunatic or a selfish man.  He want sto be remembered as he was.  That his sotry may not be forgotten.  He is too humble to actually admit that.  <but that is nhow he is feleling.  It is impossible to say more, because he is pre enting me from viewing oand writing all the secrets of his heart and all the thoughts of his brilliant mind.  I can feel his scar. I can see thourhg his eyes.  He knows I want to write more bu,t kj obcviuosouly, he can’t let me.  It is too special to heim to slety hme share.  But if I could, I would explain all about who harryp porter is.  I would share all the unqiue details that interest he is a great guy and heis rstory wshould be told wide far and wide.  It isn’t just me either.  His friends also think so It would prevent lies getting out about him.  It would prevent discrediters and thieves of a famous , glorious life. Of a amazing life. He wishes hme to say that he w he is just harry. Bu, I know that he isn’t.  is the is the fthe y boy who live the chosen one and Harryp Potter.  He isn’
