Hello, excuse me, but I really need help.
I am new to music, started singing and playing guitar - by myself - almost an year ago, and been trying to write music for a few months now.
I am trying to not go to the next one until I have learned everything I can from this one. It is not good, but I feel... okay about it, but it still seems like I can learn something else from it, like it is lacking something that could help me to level up.
So that is my doubt, is it just that my skills in singing and playing and composing are very rudimentary and this is the best I can do no matter what, or am I overlooking something that to someone who is more experient it is pretty obvious, as in, for exemple, one of my ideias was maybe change the fingerstyle, make it more complex? At the same time I see plenty of good songs with a single fingerstyle being used throughout its whole lenght, sometimes simpler than this. Maybe it is the intro and outro? Or focusing on that now would be focusing on the wrong thing, like putting acessories into an unfinished outfit, as there is more pressing issues?
I am sorry for asking for help with something so simple, but I have nobody else to take sugestions from but the internet.
About the song:
It started as something more folk punky with strumming, but my friends said fingerstyle would fit the mood better so I changed it.

Olhando pro céu imagino você
feliz sorrindo
Finalmente está em casa,
meu anjo sem asa?
Minha estrela na terra,
será que te deixam nas nuvens nadar
Quando olho pra lua
será que vês o mesmo que eu?
Por favor, por favor
Por favor me ouça
Por favor Deus
Por favor cuide bem do que agora é seu
Olhando pro teto não durmo e me lembro
de cada momento
foi meu abraço forte o bastante
minha luz radiante
Meu raio de sol
será que eles têm brigadeiro no céu?
Quando choro no escuro
será que você escuta os soluços
Por favor, por favor
Por favor me ouça
Por favor Deus
Por favor cuide bem do que agora é seu
Espero que tenha te feito contente
Que eu disse o suficiente
que eu te amo
E meu maior medo persiste
A duvida se o depois existe
e eu choro na noite
Por favor, por favor
Por favor me ouça
Por favor Deus
Por favor cuide bem do que agora é seu
And here is the translation
Looking at the sky I imagine you
happy smiling
Are you finally home,
my wingless angel?
My star on earth,
do they let you swim in the clouds?
When I look at the moon,
do you see the same thing as I?
Please please
Please hear me
Please God
Please take good care of what is now yours
Looking at the ceiling I don't sleep and I remember
every moment
was my hug strong enough
my radiant light
My sunshine
Do they have a brigadeiro in heaven?
When I cry in the dark
do you will hear the sobs?
Please please
Please hear me
Please God
Please take good care of what is now yours
I hope I made you happy
that I said enough
that I love you
and my biggest fear persists
the doubt if the after exists
and I cry in the night
Please please
Please hear
Please God
Please take good care of what is now yours
