That's much better, I mummer (I think you mean murmur? Also, you might want to add quotations around "That's much better")
I stumble across that one
The one
The one that you know will get you out (I found this a bit redundant. Get rid of 'that one' in the first line, leave the rest, and it'll be better)

Stumbling in a hurricane of lettersPeriod here. Basically, use the same punctuation you would in prose.I think some poets do some strange things with punctuation, but I personally would follow the grammar rules.
They laugh at me
My mind blocks my heartThis three lines, "My mind...emotion" felt sort of awkward to me. I wanted them to be a single thought, but I'm not sure that they were. I like the idea here, but I think you might consider rewording the second two lines. Maybe, "Each word that comes/ emotionless." I know it sounds the same, but just those couple of word changes sort of clarified it (maybe only in my mind, but you can play with it).
Every word that comes
No emotion
The story that hides behind wordsYes! Great line.
Worthless
My only way of livingAs it is, this line is a little overly-dramatic for my taste. I'm sure you can live through writer's block.I don't think you should take this out completely, but you might think about saying it in a different way. It's entirely your call, of course.
SurvivingThis sort of confused me. Has surviving left you battered and crazy, or does "surviving" belong to the previous line?
Has left me
Battered and crazy
On the streets of insanity
My friends laugh
"It's just writing", they sayIf you can replace the word with "It is," then you need an apostrophe (It's). If it shows possession, i.e. Its sail was blowing, then you don't have an apostrophe.
Its much more than that
I know it
They know itWhy are they laughing if they know how important it is?
And as I walk in the maze
The maze of shattered ideas
And incomplete sentences
I stumble across that one
The one
The one that you know will get you out
I grab it, strangling it
Never wanting to let the words go
They veer to the right
I block them
Catching them in the veins of ink in my pen
I watch them stream out
Flowing
Dancing letters
The letters become wordsVery nicely done in these next three lines.
The words become sentences
The sentences become paragraphs
Smiling
I chuckle at the scowling letters
That's much better, I mummer
My imagery has left me
I'm creatively blind
Stumbling in a hurricane of letters

My mind blocks my heart
Every word that comes
No emotion

Worthless
My only way of living
Surviving
Has left me
Battered and crazy <- Not sure if I would use this word; try another synonym.
On the streets of insanity
My friends laugh
It's just writing, they say
It's much more than that
I know it
They know it
And as I walk in the maze
The maze of shattered ideas
And incomplete sentences
I stumble across that one
The one
The one that you know will pull you out "Get" isn't an ideal choice for such an intense poem
I grab it, strangle it Keep tenses constant
Never wanting to let the words go
They veer to the right
I block them
Catching them in the veins of the ink in my pen
I watch them stream out
Flowing
Dancing letters
The letters become words
The words become sentences
The sentences become paragraphs

Nice topic too and nice job on writing while having a writer's block.
