"We are synonyms but not the same.
Synonyms know each other like old colleagues, like a set of friends who've seen the world together.
They swap stories, reminisce about their origins and forget that though they are similar, they are entirely different
And though they share a certain
set of attributes, one can never be the other
Because a quiet night is not the same as a silent one,
A firm man is not the same as a steady one,
And a bright light is not the same as a brilliant one
Because the way they wedge themselves into a sentence changes everything.
They are not the same."
