English is not my first language either, and at first I was very self-conscious when writing or generally communicating in English. What at first helped me to become more natural in using the language was watching a lot of TV (if Netflix is available where you live, then it's a great option; or just youtube or dtube videos made by native english speakers) and reading books in english. At first, I needed to use dictionary a lot, then less and now I am OK without. Of course, moving to English speaking country and using the language in everyday life is what ultimately made me confident in communicating and expressing my ideas, but if you don't have that option (or just plainly don't want to), reading and listening a lot is helpful, as well as communicating with others online (like here, for example). :)
English is not my first language either, but an effort needs to be made.
If you'd buy food from a store and they would say "Sorry those products aren't that good, agriculture is not our first profession", you wouldn't be happy.
Readers are content consumers, and we're content creators. It's not the consumer's responsibility to try to "fix" the creator's bad work.
Besides that, getting the attention of people doesn't really work on "pity" and who's trying the hardest. Consumers don't usually spend hours reading someone's content just because they try really hard.
Either the content is good, or it isn't.
It's our responsibility to make an effort, improve, and offer the best content we can.
