Saying you aren't a very good writer means you must have tried, but don't jump to conclusions, because writing down what you "really mean" is probably one of the most difficult things there is to do!
But it isn't the writing that's the hard part, it's the knowing what you mean. Once you know that writing about it will follow. The two things work off of each other, so writing is really the best way to learn about yourself.
If you do want to write, try getting a notebook and writing down your thoughts. Don't force it, but wait until you have a thought you're interested in, remember it, and when you have time, try writing it down. And don't be discouraged if it doesn't happen all at once.

If you know you are not a very good writer and assume that means you can only say the opposite of what your really mean or nothing at all, it would seem to me writing the opposite of what you mean could be useful in some instances. You could easily list antonyms, tell bad directions, etc. Use your skills creatively.

Is this a question?
Even if you're not a good writer, you should say what you mean, not the opposite. Sometimes the most powerful statements are those that are simple. So don't try so hard. Just be honest. Say what you feel & the words will come. It's only when you're not being genunine that it's hard to find words.

being a good writer has nothing to do with saying the opposite or nothing at all. that doesn't even make any sense.

Try this writing exercise: Pick a book you like and write out the first three pages by hand. You'll see every bit of description, every bit of character development, the dialogue, and the beginnings of the plot. Use what you learn in your own writing.

It might be time to take some courses in writing. There are some authors who do the "double speak", at least as far as I can discern. Courses in poetry, language arts and some of the classics might help you better understand how to communicate what you are truly trying to say.
I majored, in high school, way back when, in contemporary literature. It has helped me to be able to deduce context and syntax. (That was from a poetry class.)
Good luck to you, my friend, on being able to find your literary "voice".

Read a great amount of the sort of stuff you would like to write, that is how you learn the trade.

Does this mean you're being ironic?
