Oh my gosh, I know exactly what you mean when you talk about how you need to finish the piece... there are days where I feel sick to my stomach because I am unable to put the emotions and experiences I want to express into lyric or music or art.
Regarding writing the piece... perhaps you're worrying about it a little too much :]. Sometimes it is most beneficial not to sit down and write something great, but rather to simply sit down and write. I haven't composed much... so take my words with a grain of salt... but the absolute best stuff that I have ever brought to music came not from me sitting a wracking my brain for brilliant chord progressions, but from humming a tune in the shower or from messing around on my instrument. One light rock song I've composed has a melody that I wrote (not on page, mind you...) as a 5th grader. Just sit down and let the music flow... if you try to grab it and confine it to logic and theory and page, it will always seem a little lifeless.
