Stuck By the Feelings of Low Self Esteem

You tell me I am beautiful
Why are those words so hard for me to accept
I swallow so hard
It is hard to believe
Low self esteem
Why cannot I take a compliment
I go by day to day
Feeling like well you know
The words I cannot express
Its just how it is 
I am this
I choose to try to understand
To let you love 
To trust
To let you let me choose to realize I am just a woman trying to make it on this 
complicated land.
