You have some nice melodic ideas, but sometimes it seems like your just fooling around on piano. Improvising with no knowledge of the chords your in.
My biggest comment with all your pieces is that you basically stick with a simple chord progression for the entire piece, which is fine if that is what you want. But don't be expecting to make a career out of composing if that is all your going to do.
My advice is that you need to listen to lots of music and play lots of piano music, and when I say piano music I'm not talking about pop tunes, I'm talking about serious piano (classical) music. If you really want to go somewhere with this you need to start doing that, because by playing that music your technique/skill will increase on piano allowing for more "ideas," for composing. Right now your just playing it safe. But if your happy with what your doing, then who am I to say otherwise.

Currently this is only a hobby, but I'm grateful for your response and I'll definitely try listening to more classical songs. I have been learning chords though and I used that knowledge on this song (Am C G D, then F, G, Am) as it's really helping me memorise the chords.
I don't think I want to make a career out of this though, it's really only a bit of fun. That doesn't mean I don't want to improve though.
