I want to write a poem

i have been told time and time again that I think to much and I want to write a poem about how that makes me feel but i don't know how to organize the stanzas when i am unable to determine which words are worth writing which words will strike your heart burn your tongue- which words will taste like honey but sting you like the bee I want to write a poem but i don't know what to write about because I feel unworthy of my gift i have seen people weave thorns into crowns of roses with just a pen and a page I want to write a poem but I'm mangling my message over and over mutilating it until the words don't make sense and my metaphors sound like an example of how to NOT write a metaphor I want to write a poem and I really am trying but i'm intimidated by those who can spit magic in minutes weave their struggles into art with their ginormous vocabularies I want to write a poem I want to write THIS poem I want to write anything but how can I. when i have nothing to say my mind fixated on word counts and a deadline i worry I won't be able to meet.
