Re: Does this composition deserve to be played in front of an audience?

Absolutely, "Yes".

As a Music teacher, I do hear some basic common issues. Not at all enough to say don't play out. But you could think about them. I would say focused on the Dynamics and Pedal to soften up the Trills and transitions from cadences. For an emotional, memorable, Impact you could try to finish a little stronger. At around 220 try a repeat from .50 "you have a nice hook there sounds great" try to use it again and find your stronger Fine. I like to think of compositions like a short story being told. What would make you remember this story? Chop up your piece and think about that..

Composition is extremely subjective and this is just a verbal music jam among musicians and it sometimes takes composers years to finish a song anyway. Nothing is ever perfect or done to any musician. That's why we all change and improve to some of the best songs ever written.. If you have time try the above. That said you could just play it as is. It sounds very nice and would be just fine.

Thank for sharing your composition with us. Good luck.
