Just start by venting--Buy a nice journal and just put all your emotions out there. Doesnt matter if they make sense or not. After you have done that. go back and pick out things that sound good and putting them into a structure. h**l I have vented for a few pages and taken pieces from it and made it into a few poems. Don't try and force it, it will sound contrived--Just let loose and it will come to you--It doesnt have to sound perfect or what you feel others would like. Do it for you first

You could start by reading poetry until you find the kind of stuff you like best. Then just go for it. Write so that the reader will understand what you're feeling, but also see a lyrical beauty to it. Experiment with rhyming or free verse. It can be awkward at first, but you'll get better the more you write.
