Yup, correct (Tusk's second guess and CG's first one) - well done guys.
Spoiler
(click to show/hide)
I, a snow of darkling white,
Ash does fall and build up kinda like snow but with dark bits
Shall fall beneath a glowing light,
It builds up below the flames of a fire
For when his kingdom frost has got,
That is, in winter
You'll make me though you want me not
Nobody wants ash - they want the warmth from the fire
I may be made of mine own name,
I was thinking this one because you can burn ash logs to make ash
So tell me, can you guess the same?

I go with the flow.
I break things, you know,
When doing my role.
To save you's my goal.
It may end my life,
and cause you some strife,
but deep down you know
I just went with the flow.

Nope. Good guess!
Spoiler

I guess it could fit the "cause you some strife" line in that in the process of fighting an illness you could get unpleasant symptoms. and "break things" could mean germ cells etc?
Not sure if a white blood cell specifically sacrifices itself in the line of duty, though, but then I am not a biologist.

I'm not really sure what does break itself or die in the line of duty, it's a rather tricky one...

Ah, it's tough to tell when something is too hard. I assume it's obvious since I thought of it!
Here is a clue then

Hmm. Two more guesses, then:
Spoiler
(click to show/hide)
either: a breakwater for a harbour (but I can't see how that would "go with the flow")
or: a sacrificial electrode (usually anode) for a piece of maritime equipment

Your second guess is very close - and I'm very tempted to give it to you. I had to google what they are, though... I'm not sure what a sacrificial electrode would break, other than itself? That would not fit with "things"
Here are 2 clues if you want to use them

Every modern household is likely quite a few of these

The thing being broken applies to both the "flow" mentioned on the first and last lines, and also the object it's in
