Fight Against the Current

I am as cold as ice inside an arctic force wind. 
A glacier slowly melting from things I can't control. 
I can see the end but growing stronger is my goal.
I hang on like a ship that's sinking so tragically.
The world will move you if you let it, so magically.
On the outside you will see sad eyes worn down from every wave.
I wish I could love myself enough to be saved,
The summer sun is sweltering hot and the ice is mostly gone.
If you look really closely you'll see the same droplets in the ocean moving like a song.
Every day is getting harder but each day I let go and become strong.
Finally the glacier in my heart has melted thoroughly.
Now I feel I won this war, as I am apart of everything the infinite ocean I feel full heartedly. 
I move as the sea moves let go of all I hold.
Now I shine and sparkle a force so bold.
