A big part of what makes EQ fun is that it can be hard. The complexity and difficulty of the game tends to ramp up as you gain levels. This is especially true for bards, who play best when twisting multiple songs together. If level 4 is this challenging to you, try another class.
Noting that you made the run from Freeport to GFD at level 4, I can see why gaining XP in 3-4 hours of play can be a challenge. Travel time is another thing that made EQ a great game (trapped on a boat with other PCs for 20 minutes or so to socialize). Still, you get no XP when riding a boat.
If you want to continue playing your bard, talk to your fellow PCs about newbie quests that could get you some cloth or tattered armor to wear. Learn which monsters you can handle in a fight. Also, check online for guides on how to play your class effectively.
