TW: implied self harm

My friend invited me to go swimming today
I declined
I genuinely didn't have the energy
But the swimming played a role to

I only have one pair of shorts
They go down far enough
But I'm still scared
I can't have her seeing them
She would freak out
She'd be worried
I don't want to worry her

I don't know how long I can come up with excuses
She knows I love to swim
I just wish I'd never started doing it
Maybe then I could swim without worry
But I started
And now I'm addicted
And I don't want to stop
