I'd recommend tightening up the structure, perhaps make each line a complete thought, and giving us more specifics about the narrator and his torment, but other than that this is quite effective. Thanks for the read.
I press so hard leaving scars
my fucking pen wont write "Won't"
my mind is reeling a frenetic pace Shouldn't that be "at a frenetic pace"?
as I move over the lines but twice
sometimes I want to sanitize
and jump right off the brink
my words fall with a helpless call
written in frozen ink.
** Just a small change on line 6 changed "fall" to "jump"
