Glad it helped a little. ^^
I had the same problem as you in the beginning, it took me like 3yrs after i started playing to finally make a simple song i was proud of.
ive been playing guitar and singing for like 14 yrs and still have difficulty finding my own voice without emulating some kind of music formula or some artist i admire.
idk about you, but in my head i can never be as good as the musicians i admire and i know to be good as them i need to find my own voice and learn how to express myself in my own way and to do this i need to put my heart into my songs and if they become hits i welcome that, and if they don't i can still be proud of them because at least the song will still have the genuine feeling i imprinted on it.
I think much of composing music or making art in general is a process of trial & error and whether what you create is successful or not at the core of what you created your heart has to be in it or else what's the point?
