    Rida Ansari

    RIDA ANSARI has been writing poetry for ten-plus years. She was inspired to write Mentally Disordered while enduring her own challenges. She has faced the depths of rejection—in love, in life, and in her own body's illness. Living through life's toughest curveballs at a young age, Rida has been able to see the world in an enchanting view. She graduated from Stetson University, taking creative courses to sharpen her literary skills to bring these thoughts and perspectives to ink and paper. She hopes to continue writing, living out her story and sharing it with her readers.

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.
