I don't think it matters whether or not you're any good
If you have to write, work with what you've got. Don't let someone else tell you that you do or do not meet some arbitrary "talent" cutoff. You're born with a certain amount of natural ability, and it differs from others' level of ability, but that's something you can't change. What you can change, however, is the amount of work you put into your writing and into improving your writing. If you work hard at it, you will improve. If you don't work hard at it, you never will. In the end, what matters is your own opinion of your writing - do *you* think you're any good? Is what you write something that you like to read? Are you improving? Is there something else you can do to improve? Are there teachers or instruction books you could seek out? Friendly readers who will give you honest feedback? Do you take that feedback seriously and use it to improve?
If you keep working at your writing, you will get good. If you don't work at it, you won't be - talent or no talent.
