I have feelings to express but no creative skills. Nothing comes out as perfect as it is in one’s head. So is it even worth it to try?

Starting from the end, I’d say it’s better to fail while trying than to regret not doing it.
About perfection, it’s through the opposite, the imperfection and the failed attempts, that the person finds room to improve. Pretty much every artist whom you may be following started doing crude drawings. Hell, some still draw stickmen, some even going to insane lengths at that.
About creativity, inspiration is important. If you can’t find any in your daily routine, maybe try doing something different to see if inspiration comes?
And to wrap it up, personally, I think you should make art, yeah.
I have a lot of ideas I’m excited about. And I know I need to try and fail and practice to get better but then it would hurt to not do them justice.
There’s a saying in my language that goes like “perfect is enemy of done”.
As you fear not doing your ideas justice, maybe before trying them, you could participate on Ink52 from !inktober@sh.itjust.works? It’s a gamefied way of making people train drawing, and Ink52 is afaik the loosest of the 3 trends in that line, Drawtober, Inktober and Ink52, meaning pressure is also minimal.
