Music is a form of expression. It can be done extremely well, even set bars, but it can never be mastered. The greats didn't happen by accident. They spent years and years developing their craft. The more you learn about music (and practice) the more tools you have in order to express yourself musically (forming melodies and songs). Of course, you don't need all the tools in the world to make something great, but it doesn't hurt to be equipped.
Think about how you are able to speak and write (and read). As a child you learned the language, first by imitating sounds, then words themselves. You learned what they meant, and how to construct them. You learned how to use them to express what was inside. Little by little, you learned more words and how to use them. Then of course came reading and writing, which took even more practice and time.
Music isn't easy. It takes time, but don't be discouraged, keep going. Listen, listen, and then listen some more. You'll begin forming melodies that are based off of others that you have heard (consciously or subconsciously) , and once you develop your abilities and knowledge you will be able to form more original ideas.
