Name of poem about a teenage suicide?

I found this poem while reading ';The Perks of Being a Wallflower';. This poem was untitled and I am looking for the name and author of it.





Once on a yellow piece of paper with green lines


he wrote a poem


And he called it ';Chops';


because that was the name of his dog


And that's what it was all about


And his teacher gave him an A


and a gold star


And his mother hung it on the kitchen door


and read it to his aunts


That was the year Father Tracy


took all the kids to the zoo


And he let them sing on the bus


And his little sister was born


with tiny toenails and no hair


And his mother and father kissed a lot


And the girl around the corner sent him a


Valentine signed with a row of X's


and he had to ask his father what the X's meant


And his father always tucked him in bed at night


And was always there to do it








That's the first verse of the poem - there are four.Name of poem about a teenage suicide?
