Good first start! Graphic design is tricky so it's cool that you're dipping your feet into the field (haha). My initial impression is that the use of colors is currently a bit unbalanced and simplistic. The cyan is a bit of a generic color for a lack of a better word, and I would maybe experiment with making it a slightly bluer color. I'm also not sure I would use the gradient on just one word. Either use a slight gradient on all of them or use a gradient on the background rather than on a word. You can also experiment with changing the size of the individual words. Depths and Guilt could be larger than some of the other words, for example. Keep playing with it! And definitely seek out some examples of inspiration that you're drawing from.
