To me, it looks like the pillows are better lit than the model.
Yes, the lighting is just not right.

she looks like a very pretty young woman, but the pose and lighting could use some improvement so we can appreciate her more.

The props are good, but the pose, to me, is very unflattering, and the model, (as pretty as she appears,) is in total shadow.

Sorry . . . but nothing's really working here. There's no focal point, no story. But good, in that it's a start. So much scope - willing model/camera/lighting/angles/exposure/texture to experiment with . . . keep going.

The composition or cropping puts a lot of emphasis on the pillows and shoves her head off to the side of the image. The pose itself might be OK but really depends on the expression on the model's face - and in this case her face is barely visible. There is a lot of potential here - keep working on it and submitting your work!

Hope you know your way around PP. You might be able to rescue an image via post processing that is currently not visible.
To re-shoot at a later time? Some 'front' lighting of her, to see her expression, etc. Like all photography, taking this kind of picture requires experience and practice. Keep at it. You have a willing model and can learn to make better pictures in the future. Make your model a participant in getting better pictures and working together over a number of photo sessions.

Welcome to this section of the forum. Letting others see your work is a good first step. If I had to guess, you snapped this off as an "in-them-moment" capture, a snapshot.
You should try to fix this. It can be made significantly better with editing and the process of fixing it will make you think about some of the key principles when you pull out your camera. If you have a willing model, that's more than half the battle.
So things for this image.
Too much bed in front of the model - fix with cropping.
Face too dark - fix with an exposure brush with a wide feather in just hat area.
High ISO noise - soften the grain with a luminance adjustment.
Skin tones - fix by adjusting your white balance
I you download the original image, some of us could take a crack at making it better.
